A member asked:
I have herpes simplex 1. will i be able to kiss someone without infecting them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you have no active lesions, you should be fine. If you have active lesions, or think you are getting one, then you should abstain, or you run the risk of infecting them.
