 Posted: 06/26/06 - 17:36 Post subject: Is it possible to get Herpies without sex or kissing? |
  |
|
| Today I was told I have Herpies. I am 64, married, have not had sex for maybe 2 years, have kissed my husband, a peck, nothing serious, in other words I have not been exposed unless it was over ten years ago. Is it possible I do not have Herpies and have something else? |

Just a simple friendly kiss could have caused your infection. Herpes is infectious when blisters are present and if you have kissed a friend who had sores, you could have contracted the virus because it is spread skin to skin, and even more by healthy mucosal surface (in the mouth or genitals).
Herpes can’t be spread by sharing utensils, drinking from the same glass, etc because the virus doesn’t live long on the outside.
A blood test may be done to check for herpes antibodies which will always be present if you had an outbreak just once.
Even if something happened ten years ago, and you contracted the virus, you will always have the virus because it cannot be eradicated from the body. It stays hidden within spine and causes outbreaks when the immune system gets weak. |

| I have never had an outbreak before. I am 38 years old and have been with the same partner for twenty years. How could I have had contact with this disease? |
