I was wondering if you can have aids or herpes without ever having sex?

Dr. Jesse Mills answered

Specializes in Urology

AIDS yes, herpes too: Aids is spread by all body fluids, blood, semen, vaginal fluid etc. If you have any cut in your skin or membranes, aids can get in. Herpes is spread when a genital herpes blister pops and comes in contact with you.
