Is there any other way you can get herpes other than sexual contact?

Wrestling: There is something called herpes gladiotorum that has ruined wrestling seasons because all of the wrestlers get it on their body typically starting from 1 person's mouth. Contact is how you get herpes, i know of no other way.
