Yes it certainly can. I have been on Valtrex with no symptoms for ten years. I have never passed on Herpes to any of my partners through sexual intercourse - ever. To my horrow - I passed it on to a partner whilst using a finger to stimulate her. She now has genital herpes.
The infection in the fingers can be passed to the genital area if care is not taken during an outbreak.
