A member asked:
Is it possible to contract genital herpes without having sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: You can kiss someone with oral "genital, " of type two herpes in their mouth and contract type 2 orally. Hence, the confusion of oral versus genital. I prefer to use the terms type one and two.
