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.


If you have hurpes can you still get pregnant?

Absolutely YES! Genital herpes may be passed from one person to another through close physical contact. This means sex and practically anything else that can lead to sex. This includes kissing, oral sex, anal sex, etcetera. Genital herpes does not keep you from getting pregnant. In fact, if you or your partner have genital herpes you should see a doctor immediately. The doctor can show you how to use safer birth control so you don't pass the herpes virus to each other (or anyone else) and do his/her best to make sure you don't get pregnant. Babies born to mothers with Herpes generally contract herpes when they are born from the vagina. Many times, women with genital herpes are forced to have a caesarean delivery (when they cut her tummy open and get the baby out) just to protect the baby from getting Herpes. This is VERY SERIOUS! See a doctor and learn what to do to protect yourself and your partner and NOT get pregnant until you learn more.

If you have herpes and your partner does too but you are not breakin out can you kiss?

I haven't heard or read anywhere that HSV I, cold sores on the mouth, can be transmitted even when there are no cold sores present, but HSV II, genital herpes, CAN still be spread even when no sores are present on the genitals. That seems a little confusing. It is called "shedding." I would ask the family doctor. And just a reminder to others: you cannot catch genital herpes just by kissing someone who is having an outbreak. Cold sores on the mouth (HSV I) are not quite the same as sores on the genitals (HSVII) There is now more investigation into whether or not oral herpes can be spread to the genitals, also that genital herpes can be transmitted orally. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is doing further research into it, but it does now seems possible that the two strains of the virus may have the potential for cross-contamination. I haven't found any information as to what this means and if the two viruses can transmutate into the other.
