Herpes: Yes. Of course. But here are important facts. 75 % of americans are infected with herpes type one, the virus most often responsible for oral herpes. Most got infected as children from family members. If you have not had a blood test for herpes you must have one before you can learn about prevention. People infected with herpes shed the virus at unpredictable and untestable rates.
