With genital herpes any one that has intercourse or oral sex can contract it. Herpes doesn't care who you are.

With oral herpes (what causes cold sores and fever blisters) children are most sucseptable to getting it, but any one at any age can get this infection too. Oral herpes is often passed by being innocently kissed by some one that has visible cold sores or fever blisters.
