Are people really as ignorant as some of these answers??

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 tiny break in the skin or mucous membrane tissue, 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 (sometimes called cold sores or fever blisters) 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.
Genital herpes can be transmitted sexually both when symptoms are present and sometimes when symptoms are not present.
There are several days throughout the year (called asymptomatic reactivation, asymptomatic shedding, or subclinical shedding) when the virus may be present on the surface of the skin, but there are no symptoms. Herpes can be passed through sexual contact during this time.
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.

Answer 6

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

Answer 8

You can only contract Gential Herpes through skin to skin contact and if you exchange bodily fluids, have unprotected sex then yes you can contract Herpes. Don't be afraid to touch anything after him because you won't catch it that way.

Answer 9

You can only get this disease by sexual contact or kissing; not by touching his things or touching him (not his genitals). This virus does not survive outside the body for long. It is found in the mucus membranes of the genitals and mouth (in the lips too).

Answer 11

It'd be highly unlikely to get it from touching him or anything else he touches. I mean unless he's up there playing with himself while he has an outbreak and rubs hands on an open sore you have..........maybe. But No, it's transmitted by sex only.
