She could: Herpes virus can be shed (=infectious) even when no sores present. So it is not impossible. You should use condoms to responsibly prevent transmission. See: http://www.Cdc.Gov/std/herpes/stdfact-herpes.Htm --for more information.

Herpes: Possibly. Herpes virus is contagious virus can be shed without any evident active lesions. In particular if vesicles are present the virus is highly contagious . The chances would be decreased if he is on suppressive therapy with an anti herpes virus medication such as valtrex (valacyclovir).
