A member asked:
Is herpes passed through sperm or pee? also can a man that has hsv1, who has never had an outbreak and is on anti virtual meds spread it to me through penetration with or without a condom? even if there is no oral contact?

Maybe. Hypothetical situation? People with no outbreaks at all don't take anti-herpes meds (unless for a rare, unusual situation). About half of US adults have HSV-1 (some don't know they have it already). If one's first HSV-1 infection was on her lips, and she developed a good level of protective antibodies to HSV-1, then she should not be able to get a new HSV-1 infection elsewhere on her body.

Herpes is passed thru direct contact and not by urine or sperm. Yes it can be passed by contact even tho the person is on anti-virals.
