A member asked:
My boyfriend has herpes simplex 1, how easy is it to contract it from him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very: Direct contact with someone with herpes, during any time that they are shedding virus can very easily result in your contracting that virus. About 1 in 4 people in america have one of the herpes viruses, and about 90% don't know they have it.
