this one-for-one.  If you have herpes, you give herpes.  However, you can be a carrier and not show symptoms and donate it to a friend.

herpes is weird, you might never get anything, outbreaks and all, or it may come in a week.  \nusually you would have to have a lab test of skin cell during an outbreak to tell if it was herpes or not, but then you have an outbreak already and you pretty much know, but the doctor can tell you for sure, or a blood test can tell as well.

Yes! There are a lot of STDS you can get by skin to skin contact or rubbing.\n\nIf a person has genital herpes you can get it by rubbing genital areas together. Even if the person is not having an outbreak, they can be shedding the virus after the sores have disappeared. \n\nHPV is another STD you can by rubbing genital areas together. If the person has genital warts (caused by HPV) and the other person rubs up against them, they can contract HPV.\n\nCrabs (Pubic Lice) is also spread by direct skin to skin contact (like rubbing).\n\nChancroid is another STD that can be spread by direct skin to skin contact.\n\nGonorrhea (Clap) can be spread by any very close physical contact.\n\nScabies can be spread through close contact or through sleeping in bedding or wearing clothes that are infested. Rarely, holding or shaking hands can transmit scabies.\n\nSyphilis can be spread by intimate touching or kissing.

If you have herpes you may never have an outbreak and never know you have it. OR you will develop a tingling and/or itching in the area where the sores will show up. An hour or up to a day later "pimple" looking sores will appear in that region. They are very painful and pretty much anything irritates them. Then these "pimples" will explode and leave open sores. The sores can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks to heal. Generally a week if it's not the first outbreak. They heal and do not leave any scars. Then the virus travels back down the spinal cord and lies dormant until (if) it reoccurs. It may be brought on by stress, caffeine, alcohol, sex, or menstrual periods.

yes, you can contract herpes through oral sex.  be careful, because you can contract it even if the person is not currently experiencing an outbreak.

First of all, you can get an oral form of herpes (which I am assuming this is to what you are referring) through contact with another person who has an active outbreak of the viral infection.  This means that just being in contact ONCE can cause you to become infected.\n\nThe sores are also known (on the mouth) as "cold sores" or "fever blisters" sometimes.\n\nI suggest you take a look at the link in the "sources" section.  This page from Medline Plus lists a lot of different links to take you more specifically to different sites to help you find some answers about what you need to know.

Herpes can be spread through kissing. Anytime bodily fluids are mixed there is a chance. The only way to avoid getting STD's at all is bY TiTTiE FUC*KING! AND LETTING HIM FU*CK YOU IN THE NOSE AND EAR TILL YOUR BRAIN IS NUMB!

Unfortunately, the herpes virus lives in the skin at all times.  The chances of contracting the virus increases if sores are present, but there is still a chance when there are no sores.  \n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/skin_and_beauty/hw31979.asp

No you will not get genital herpes just by laying next to someone with the virus. To get genital herpes you have to have direct skin to skin contact or have sex with them. So unless you are rubbing your genital areas together, or having sex with that person you ARE NOT going to get it. \n\nAnd your doctor is right for the most part. Usually doctors diagnose genital herpes by a physical exam, and also a pap smear for women. There is a blood test that they can do, but they have be shown to be really inaccurate, giving negative results, when you do in fact have the virus. The first or primary outbreak usually occurs 2-14 days after being infected. So unless you have had an outbreak, chances are you probably don't have the virus.\n\nThere is nothing you can really do to help your friend, just be there for him. It's not a deadly STD, and it is totally treatable with medication. \n\nThe sores caused by genital herpes are extremely painful on your first outbreak. They sort of looks like cysts or blisters rather than small pimples. You can "pop" them, but that is REALLY bad to do. If you pop them, the puss and fluid from them can get on the skin around it and cause more sores to appear! The best thing a person can do when they are having an outbreak is to leave them alone! Take the medicine the doctor prescribes you and don't touch your sores! They will heal better the less you touch them and irritate them. And ALWAYS wash your hands after you have touched them. \n\nYou can't tell if someone has genital herpes just by looking at them, or their genital area. Even if they show no signs of the virus, like sores, they can still be "shedding" the virus, which means they can pass it to you. Always wear a condom, or if you are a girl, insist the guy does. Even though condoms are not 100%, they are the safest thing you can do to protect yourself from STDS, other than abstinence.

You get genital herpes through direct skin to skin contact and by having sex with someone who has the virus. \n\nIf you give a girl oral sex who has genital herpes you can get herpes in your mouth. These are cold sores (herpes simplex one). Genital herpes are herpes simplex 2. Even if she is showing no signs of the virus, she can be "shedding" the virus for up to 10 days after the sores have healed. This can cause you to get the virus.\n\nYou can get cold sores by kissing someone who has a sore on their lip. You can also get them by sharing chap stick or lip stick with some one who has the sores on their lips.

Lets clear up a misunderstanding.  Even if no active lesions are present it is still possible to transmit herpes.  Before and after an active visible lession is present the virus throws off parts of itself.  These can and often do transmit the virus.

http://www.herpes.org/\n\nIt is known that partners infected with genital herpes can transmit the infection to an uninfected partner BOTH when symptoms are present (such as redness and blisters) as well as when no symptoms are present (called "asymptomatic shedding"; see the paper on Asymptomatic Shedding at www.herpes.org ). Researchers have shown that viral shedding of herpes virus occurs very often from the genitals of the infected partner even when the infected partner has no symptoms: In some cases over 80% of the time. This means that an infected partner can transmit herpes to the uninfected partner even when no symptoms are present.

Herpes can be misdiagnosed if an outbreak isnt showing. It can be iin "hybernation" where you dont have outbreaks but can still pass on to others. Herpes is different for everyone. Some people can go their whole life with no outbreaks or knowledge that they have it. Most OBGYN's will tell you that its recomended to get checked out WHILE there are concerned outbreaks showing so that they can properly diagnose the infection. Having un protected sex with or without an outbreak is NOT safe and NOT reccomended. Its still possible to pass it on to others. And not fair to others.\n\nthis is a great site and you can find out everything you want to know just by reading. hope this helps\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/52/49874.htm

No- there is no way to get herpes if your partner doesn't have it.  Your partner should be tested though to make sure he doesn't have it-  just because someone doesn't have sores, doesn't mean they don't have it.
