Genital Herpes isn't passed through blood or body fluids. It's passed when your genitals rub against some one's genitals that has had a recent break out or that has a break out on their genitals.

How is hsv 2 transmitted?

Herpes simplex is spread through skin contact for example when you rub your genitals together during intercourse with some one that has herpes. It's not passed through just body fluids like blood sperm or saliva.Genital herpes is rarely passed out side of having intercourse or oral sex. It's not passed genetically from parent to child and there is very low risk of getting it from an object because it doesn't last for long periods of time when it's out side of the body.It's passed when the skin of your genitals rubs together with your partners genitals during intercourse. But your partner would have to have genital herpes to begin with, you're not going to get it if they don't have it. It's called skin to skin contact, that's how it's passed on. Also there doesn't always have to be a break out to pass it but it's more likely to be passed (for example) if you have intercourse around the time your parnter has a break out.

How can you get herpes herpes?

There are various kinds of herpes you can get but the most common ones are hsv-1 oral herpes and hsv-2 genital herpes. This virus is transferred by skin to skin touching. Which means that if you have sex with someone who has genital herpes there is a high chance that the condom won't protect you from the virus. Since the condom does not cover the pubic area where more then likely where the virus will be at. The same goes for hsv 1, if you kiss someone who has it then you might just get it.
