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.
