Is every type of herpes transmittable?

Yes, all types of herpes are transmittable. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) are the most common types of herpes, and they can cause oral and genital herpes, respectively. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox and shingles, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, fatigue, and rash. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes infectious mononucleosis and is also associated with certain types of cancer. All of these types of herpes are spread through contact with infected bodily fluids, such as saliva, blood, or skin lesions.
