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.

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.
Can fire ant bites be mistaken for genital herpes?
A person who lacks the necessary experience and insight might jump to conclusions and say that any pustules or ulcers they see look like genital herpes, but there generally is not much doubt. Fire ants do not generally bite just in the areas that usually are worst affected by Herpes, and usually the ant-bite pustules or blisters are neater and rounder. Herpes pustules tend to be more clustered in the affected areas, whereas ants a likelier to wander and produced scattered bites as well as clusters. In practice the lesions look different to the experienced eye, especially after a few days.
