Suggest Treatment For Herpes
Ok so long story short my friends wife has told him and yes he s dumb enough to believe anything she says without a second guess.... anyways she told him that women can break out with herpes just from being pregnant, i.e. not sexually transmitted. I don t believe this so before I make a jackass out of myself for calling her out, this surely can t be the case

Herpes is a viral infection which is transmitted from one person to other. If lesions are on lps( Herpes labialis) it is transmitted by kissing or sharing a glass or handkerchief. If lesions are on genitalia( Herpes progenitalis ) it i transmitted through sexual intercourse and the patient should be tested for other sexually transmitted infections including syphilis and HIV infection
