Can herpes simplex type11 be spreaded if there is no contact with lesions?
HSV-1, on the other hand, is the type of herpes virus that is usually associated with oral herpes (cold sores). HSV-1 can be spread through direct contact with an infected person's sores or lesions, or through contact with infected oral secretions, such as saliva. HSV-1 can also be spread through contact with non-lesional skin, although this is less common.
