A member asked:

Could you get herpes if you get a handjob from someone with herpetic whitlow? would they need to be having an active outbreak, or could it spread even if her hands have no sores on them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Herpes is essentially spread by skin to skin contact. A person with a history of herpes can transmit infection even when there are no eruptions present.
