Will you get herpes frpm someone with the virus no outbreak?
It is possible to contract herpes from someone who has the virus but is not currently experiencing an outbreak. This is because the virus can be shed from the body even when there are no visible symptoms. The risk of transmission is highest during an outbreak, but it is still possible to transmit the virus when there are no symptoms.
If you are concerned about contracting herpes, there are some things you can do to reduce your risk:
* Avoid contact with people who have visible herpes sores.
* Use condoms during sex.
* Wash your hands thoroughly after coming into contact with someone who has herpes.
* Avoid sharing personal items, such as razors and toothbrushes.
If you think you may have contracted herpes, it is important to see a doctor. They can confirm the diagnosis and prescribe medication to help manage the symptoms.
