How Is Herpes Transmitted?
Question: If my husband has 1 and 2 herps and I never got an out break and he got it 7 months ago when do u think he I tracked it
Brief Answer:
Sharing personal utensils with infected persons...
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I understand your concern.
You say that your husband got an outbreak of herps 1 and 2; while you never had an outbreak.
If you are asking about non-genital herpes outbreaks, modes of transmission include eating or sharing same personal utensils with the infected persons (especially when in contact with open sores), especially if hygienic measures are not totally followed (e.g. washing hands,etc).
Hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have other queries.
