Can you get herpes from touching someones saliva but with your fingers and their not showing at the time?

Yes, it is possible to contract herpes from touching someone's saliva with your fingers, even if they are not currently showing any symptoms of the infection. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which causes oral herpes, and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), which causes genital herpes, can be transmitted through direct contact with infected saliva or skin lesions. The virus can enter the body through small cuts or abrasions on the skin, or through the mucous membranes of the mouth, eyes, or genitals.

It's important to note that a person can transmit herpes even if they are not experiencing any active symptoms at the time. This is known as asymptomatic shedding, and it can occur in both people with HSV-1 and HSV-2. This is why it's important to practice safe sex and to avoid contact with any open sores or lesions, even if the person does not appear to be symptomatic.

If you have come into contact with someone's saliva and you are concerned about the risk of herpes infection, it is a good idea to talk to a doctor or other healthcare professional. They can provide you with more information and advice on how to reduce the risk of infection.
