Herpes encephalitis is not a sexually transmitted disease per se. Since you must have herpes to have herpes encephalitis, depending on how a person obtained the herpes virus, the result of it may be due to a sexual nature. See related link for more information.

Herpes encephilitis is a type of herpes that affects the brain. It's very rare to have and not easily contracted.

It is estimated that between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 5,000 infants are born with HSV infections. About 80% of these infections are acquired during the birth process itself
