How do you get Genital Herpes
|
Any person who is sexually active can get genital herpes. Herpes is transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact. This occurs when a contagious area comes into contact with a mucous membrane, primarily the mouth and genitals. Most skin on the body is too thick for the virus to go through. If a person with oral herpes performs oral sex, it is possible for the partner to get genital herpes. If a person with genital herpes has sex, it is possible for his or her partner to get genital herpes. Herpes can be transmitted when there are no symptoms present. There are several days throughout the year (called asymptomatic reactivation, asymptomatic shedding or subclinical shedding) when a person can be contagious without having a symptom. There are no documented cases of a person getting genital herpes from an inanimate object such as a toilet seat, bathtub or towel. Herpes is a very fragile virus and does not live long on surfaces. |
