A member asked:
Is there any way to get herpes without having sex?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Any contact: The herpes virus passes to breaks in skin or mucus membranes from contact. The contact is usually an active lesion or sore on another person, but can be from an object. The virus can also be spread from one area of your body to another, so we all should learn hand washing and antiseptic techniques.
