Yes. Sadly! Some people are infectious a week before and after their outbreak. Some people also have 'viral shredding' where they are actively shedding the virus, without knowing and therefore spreading it to any partners.
Herpes is spread by coming in contact with the herpes virus. The herpes virus can be spread even when a person isn't having an outbreak.
The sexually transmitted disease described is likely genital herpes. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and can cause painful blisters and sores in the genital area during outbreaks. These outbreaks can recur periodically over time.
Herpes is not transmitted by polluted water.
It is transmitted by "sexual contact".
You can get the herpes virus from a kiss on the neck if the person kissing you had an outbreak of herpes or just before the outbreak arose. The neck is a common place for herpes gladiatorum as well.
If you play a flute and have herpes simplex outbreak, you should stop immediately see a medical doctor for advice.

A herpes outbreak doesn't last 2 months; and the virus lasts for a lifetime.
The initial outbreak of herpes is usually the most severe. A patient who has never had genital herpes or cold sores typically has the worst initial outbreak. A history of other herpes infections may make the initial outbreak less severe, as the body already has related antibodies. These patients may be more likely to have genital herpes without knowing it. As time goes on, outbreaks typically become less severe.
There are outbreaks of herpes every day all over the world. Each year, nearly 24 million people are infected with the herpes simplex type 2 virus. In 2013 there was a massive outbreak of herpes simplex 1 at the Coachella music festival in Indio, California.
Yes. Cold sores are from the herpes simplex virus. Herpes can also be transmitted through oral sex.
