Could I get Genital Herpes from just saliva alone? |
Thanks you for your help I hope this question is in the correct form. The answer to the question is no and yes. If the person doesn't have a soar on there mouth or in it then you are okay. But if the other person has a soar in there mouth or on the outside then you can get the disease. I think that you will be fine unless you know she/he has the second part of the answer. yes i believe there is a chance. life and nursing experience I dont know but i dont think so! no but check with your doctor absolutely! take a look @ this...... http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/... & make sure that you keep your mouth away from contaminated stuff! :l- HSV-1, the virus responsible for common cold sores, can be transmitted through oral secretions. This usually occurs during kissing, or by eating and drinking from contaminated utensils. Additionally, HSV-1 can cause genital herpes through transmission during oral-genital sex, thus both strains of the virus may be transmitted by sexual contact. Initial oral herpes infection, however, usually occurs in childhood. It is therefore not classified as a sexually transmitted disease. HSV-1 is responsible for only 5-10% of genital herpes cases, while HSV-2 causes the majority of genital herpes cases. HSV-2 can be transmitted through oral or genital secretions. An estimated 86 million people worldwide are thought to have genital herpes. Please see the web pages for more details on Herpes Simplex. |
