Please suggest, Does herpes transfer through shin to skin contact? If uninfected person have no ulcers sores or wounds and not engage in kissing and do protected sex than also herpes can transfer? My simple question is that herpes can transfer through skin to skin contact but if there is no opening sores and cuts in skin of uninfected person than it can also transfer? Please advise I am very confuse.

Herpes can only be passed through direct skin-to-skin contact with the infected area such as kissing, oral sex, genital-to-genital rubbing, vaginal, and anal sex. Herpes (both oral & genital) can be spread even when there are no symptoms or sores.
