Post subject: transmission of genital herpes
daisy123456 - Thu Jul 01, 2004 4:50 pm |
If a female is infected with genital herpes, and there is oral sex between the female and male. Only the female on the male. Can genital herpes be transmitted? If so, then can it be transmitted through kissing too? In this case, it is when only the female is infected?

Hi!
The mode of transmission of herpes is by close personal contact, and infection occurs via inoculation of virus into susceptible mucosal surfaces (eg, oropharynx, cervix, conjunctiva) or through small cracks in the skin.
HSV-1 is transmitted chiefly by contact with infected saliva, whereas HSV-2 is transmitted sexually or from a mother's genital tract infection to her newborn.
So, the answer to your question would be yes, to all counts.
Hope this helps,
bill
