A member asked:

Hi, i have developed some herpes symptoms on my genitals. i have never had any sex .is it possible to get infected with herpes without physicalcontact?

No: There are several possibilities. You may have had oral herpes lesions and transferred the virus to your genitals manually, although this is unlikely. You may have been infected much earlier and not developed overt symptoms until later recurrence. When you say you have never had any sex, is this like president clinton, meaning 'no intercourse' but have had oral sex? Are you sure this is herpes?
