A member asked:
Could i have gotten gebtial herpes by someones saliva? i havent had sex in two months but have been penetrated and as a lube saliva was used. could i have gotten it that way?

Unlikely by saliva: Your question isn't clear. Have you been diagnosed with genital herpes? If so, is it for sure a new infection? Apparently new herpes often is actually recurrence of a longstanding infection that previously was asymptomatic. Presumably "penetrated" but "no sex" means fingering? HSV1, the cause of oral herpes, can be transmitted by oral sex, but uncommonly by saliva and rarely if ever by fingering.
