Herpes: Herpes is contagious at the site of infection whether one has blisters or not. But, herpes is not described as being pimples. If your partner is positive for herpes you need a blood test to prove if you also carry this. 75% of americans have herpes simplex or herpes type one. Most got this as children from family members.
