Whats the percentage or chance of getting herpes 2 by sharing a cigarette with someone who has herpes 1 and 2
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genital herpes: Herpes 2 is usually transmitted by contact with the genital area, but if the person is shedding virus onto his hand and touches the cigarette and then you put the cigarette in your mouth, it would be possible to transmit the virus to you. Herpes 2 can cause oral infection.
