A member asked:
Can someone get infected with hsv2 just by touching the fluids with the hands or another skin area if there is any lesion at that time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes: Herpes is transmitted from infected skin or infected fluids in touch with infected skin. One does not have to have a lesion to shed virus and thus to be contagious. Once infected someone cannot be infected a second time or transfer the infection to another part of the body.
