What Is Mode Of Transmission For Herpes Virus?

Hi.....if a person does not have visible herpes sores what are the chances of receiving the virus from kissing or touching. I am assuming that you would need to have skin to skin contact with the active virus. Would there be transfer possible from intimately touching a womans vagina with your fingers? If so I am also assuming that you would then need to touch yourself at a potential point of virus entry (eyes nose etc) before you washed your hands.

Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your doctor I advice you that if you had touched the vagina virus had implanted on your skin whether patient has symptoms or not. such virus can be implanted on skin also there is no need to have potential weak space. And if the hosts immune system is compromised than you should be infected with HSV and you got symptoms of HSV also.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
