Can you catch herpes from someone if they just touch you down there?

Question

My friends and I are in a little debate about it. I believe it's impossible to get herpes from a guy if he just "man handles" you down there...they think you can catch it from someone who has it even if they just touch you.

Answer 1

Your answer is yes I am sorry to tell you!

How do you get Herpes?

Herpes is transmitted through direct contact, including kissing, sexual contact (oral, vaginal and anal sex), or skin to skin contact with an infected partner. Although herpes is most contagious before, during, and after an outbreak, it is possible to transmit the virus when no symptoms are present. Because symptoms during an outbreak can range from severe to hardly detectable, herpes is thought to be commonly passed by people who are unaware of their infection or do not realize that their infection can be passed when no symptoms are present. Anyone who has unprotected sex, regardless of his or her age, sexual preference, or background, can get herpes. A pregnant woman can also pass the infection to her newborn during delivery.

There are two main types of herpes. Herpes simplex type1 and type 2. Type 1 is usually associated with the mouth, type 2 with the genital area.

It won't kill you, though it will cause you to break out in blisters. After contracting either type, your body will produce antibodies after six weeks that will stop you from reinfecting yourself, or someone else re-infecting you. So, if you get type 1 of the mouth, during that six weeks, you can re-infect youself while shaving. Or, if you have an outbreak and touch a sore, if you touch somewhere else on your body, such as your genitals, you will contract, genital herpes, type 1. You can also get oral herpes type 2, in addition to type 1, if you perform oral sex on someon with genital herpes type two.
Condoms will not completely protect you from the disease since parts of the body not covered by the condom can rub against the infected individual. Plus, if they are not having an outbreak, you do not know where the infected spots are located on their body. Herpes is a skin-to-skin transmission type disease.
Though it is skin-to skin, it can be transmitted by skin-surface-skin contact. For example, sharing a drinking glass or towel.
Herpes, type 1 and 2, can be passed on to others at any time, whether the infected person is having an outbreak or not. There is no cure, just antiviral medication to help treat/prevent outbreaks.

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 7

If a person has a herpes sore on the lips, for example, he or she can spread herpes to the lips of another person through kissing. Infection can also be spread from the lips to the genitals during oral sex. This is why so many cases of genital herpes are caused today by herpes type 1.

If one has a herpes sore on the genitals, coitus or other unprotected sexual activity gives the virus a chance to spread, resulting most often in genital-to-genital transmission.

Answer 8

LMAO. Thats hilarious. First off i taught a sex ed class for volunteer work at a high school. AND NO you can NOT catch Herpes by some one just touching you with their hands. BUT you can catch herpes if the other person has it by the mouth area and you exchange saliva, or have oral sex. As well as if they have genital Herpes.. you can catch it if you have sexual intercourse. But lol not by shaking hands.
Hope i helped!

Answer 9

If there is open sores then it can be transmitted through contact, lets say he has open sores in his genital regend, or even on his face, (there is more than one type of herpes) and he takes a leak or wipes his mouth, herpes is on his fingers, then he sticks them inside of u, what do u think will happen. Whoever thinks that is has to do with sexual intercourse is badly mistaken, and may wind up with it themselves, it is all about the open lessions, yes there has to be skin to skin contact, but does not have to be sexual, if there are not open lessions, then, it would have to be an exchange of bodily fluids.

Answer 10

Yes you can get herpes if he just touches you down there. What if he just went to the bathroom and had a herpes sore on him, he touched himself to pee and did NOT wash his hands, then you can get herpes. Be Careful!!!
