Can two herpes negative people create herpes when they have unprotected sex ? how is herpes created ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes infection: Genital or oral herpes are viral infections that cause painful ulcers, fluid filled blisters or pustules in the skin or mouth. It is transmitted from one infected person to another by direct contact with the virus thru skin-skin contact or infected fluids. The virus can be dormant and not easily noticeable during some infection outbreaks so some people can be infected yet not even know it.
