You're more likely to get herpes by kissing on the mouth (while some one has or just had a cold sore which is cause by oral herpes), receiving oral sex or having intercourse. It's unlikely to be passed by sharing objects with or just touching some one that has it.

An example would be HIV/AIDS which is a non-curable disease and pretty much a death sentence, no offense.

But all in all, I recommend you don't do it.

Loving parents (this category includes grumpy, tired, in-need-of-a-break parents) do not pass on genital herpes to their children through the ‘normal’ intimacies of family life. But if it does happen that they get it, it has to be by way of sexual contact. This should be reported.

How can a 3 yr old get genital herpes?

How do people get Genital Herpes?Herpes can only live outside of the human body for a short period of time; it can survive outside of an infected body for several minutes. It may be long enough to be passed from the contaminated hands of an infected person, to a person who does not yet have the infection. However, although it is possible to pass herpes in this way, it isunlikely for someone to catch herpes this way.Herpes can be spread even when the infected has no visible sores. It can be spread because the person is shedding the virus cells, or their sores are so tiny that they cannot be seen or felt.It is possible for an infected mother to pass this infection on to her child, during the birthing process.Herpes can be spread through a blood transfusion.Herpes can be spread by touching contaminated blood, when you have an open wound.Herpes can be spread by touching a sore, a lesion, or wound of an infected person.Herpes can be transmitted by transplant of an infected organ, to an uninfected organrecipient.Herpes can be spread by contaminated and dirty needles.But the most common way to spread herpes is by sexual intercourse, and herpes can be spread, even by those without symptoms of the infection.Oral sex allows spreading of the 'oral herpes' to the genitals.(It is not considered possible to catch herpes from hot tubs, toilet seats or towels, nor can it be spread by bathing with an infected person.)
