Herpes is a contact transmitted disease. That means that you can potentially get it when an infected site touches a non-infected site. Getting herpes in the urethra is not as likely as other genital or oral areas. However, because the urethra is so close to the vaginal opening, and in the males case, is at the head of the penis, herpes in the genital region may also infect the urethra because of the likelihood of contact. Herpes can also be spread if you touch an infected site and touch another area, such as the urethra. Have a doctor or nurse practitioner look at the area when you are exhibiting symptoms. They can also take a blood test when sores aren't visible. Any discharge or other symptoms may be attributed to a yeast infection (both women and men can get these). Talk with a doctor to go eliminate worry and address treatement options.
