It is easy to get herpes as the virus can easily spread through direct contact by consistent rubbing with an individual who has the infection. A person can acquire it when their genitals or mouth get in contact with an infected individual’s genital or mouth, which normally happens in sexual encounters.
Passing herpes is as easy as continued and consistent touching of the skin with infected skin. The human alphaherpesvirus 1 (HSV-1) and the human alphaherpesvirus 2 (HSV-2) can effortlessly pass through kissing a person who got the oral sore herpes. Other than these events, parents who have herpes can transmit the disease to their children through biting or poking them on their lips.
In addition to that, a mother can also pass genital herpes during delivery. Herpes is highly contagious when cold sores are open and moisty, as the fluid in those blisters can easily spread the virus. So, knowing this, avoid having sexual encounters with your partner when the sores or blisters are open and moisty.
