A member asked:

Another way a girl could have gotten herpes without sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Am assuming this is genital herpes. In which case, depending on whether or not you agree with president clinton's definition of sex you can get it from a female partner, from a penis or from oral sex. It is highly improbable if not impossible to get it any other way.

Dr Nguyen and another doctor agreed
