Can you go to the hospital if you think you might have herpes?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Herpes: Usually it is ok. Herpes is spread by direct contact. I am assuming you mean genital herpes, so sex would be the way to pass it to someone else. IF you mean Herpes 1 or cold sore herpes and you are visiting someone with a poor immunity, just don't kiss them if you have a cold sore or cold sore symptoms. Herpes is not spread like a cold virus

Yes, but I recommend: that you see your primary doctor if possible. If you are in a lot of pain or have fever, then seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Most urgent care centers can evaluate and treat herpes infections. Emergency treatment is usually not needed for uncomplicated herpes infections. http://www.medicinenet.com/genital_herpes_in_women_overview/article.htm
