WRONG!!!!: You can get genital herpes through genital-genital contact or genital-oral contact with someone who has herpes. The virus is most easily spread through contact with open sores, but you also can get the virus from skin that does not appear to have a sore. You can become infected with the herpes virus without having intercourse. Even if she didn't have lesions, she can still pass the virus on to u!
