Can herpes be spread by fluids or only skin to skin?

If two people exchange fluids without touching infected skin, is the virus
transferred?

How would you exchange fluids without touching the infected skin?

Do you have an example?

Angela :)

More than likely not.  But there may always be a very small chance that it might
happen.

I am copy and pasting a response to a post I responded to earlier, about the
same thing...

My doc told me when I was diagnosed (AGAIN)  1 month ago,
and EVERYTHING I have read, states clearly that type 1 can be transferred to
the genitals and vice versa..
I had genital herpes  (though they have only 2 times been on the genitals...
never blisters, only welts, and  otherwise only on my buttcheek) - before I
even had sex! it DOES NOT require skin to skin contact but fluid can
transfer them also. I know exactly where mine came from.. the blister itself
does not have to touch your genitals. I had severe cold sores as a kid, and
my doc says since it was before ANY sexual contact - I likely transferred it
to myself in another area, and that this was not uncommon. women end up with
it from oral sex by a man with  a cold sore! I studied this virus in depth
when I became pregnant and the life and ability of my child was at risk (
TONS of outbreaks during pregnancy, I was afraid they would not go away!!).
But I wont argue.. I just want to give my "opinion" based on my findings and
doctors responses to my questions. Anyways,

An oozing mouth blister touching a penis/vagina... a person who picks their
blisters and touches a woman or man before washing?? yes it is possible..
but it does not travel in semen  if thats what you mean

Hi Kim,

Well, oral sex IS skin to skin contact, actually.
