If i have herpes why does my girlfriend only get the bumps if we have sex during an outbreak. she doesnt get them any other time.

Confusing question: Are you a man or a woman? Are you pregnant or is your partner pregnant? What are "the bumps"? Do you have genital herpes or something else? Herpes virus is shed from the skin a few days between attacks. This explains why the virus is often transmitted in the absence of symptoms.
