Hello,

Yes, herpes can be contacted by kissing if the person you are kissing is infected with the same.

You can also get herpes through direct skin-to-skin contact with the infected area such oral sex, vaginal, genital-to-genital rubbing & anal sex.

Herpes (both oral & genital) spread even when there are no symptoms or sores. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP, get STD tests done. If test shows positive report you will be treated with antivirals & antibiotics. Avoid sex or any other addiction for a couple of days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K
