I'm a doctor and this is the craziest thing I've ever heard!! One out of three women nationwide have herpes and one out of 5 men have herpes. Most cases are when someone with an open sore on their mouth or their genitals has unprotected sex with an uninfected person. the only other possible mode of transmission is sometimes (VERY RARELY- I've never seen it and I've been practicing around 15 years) a person with a history of herpes with no active cold sore as unprotected sex with someone (no condom, no valtrex) and gives it to them. The only way to get it is through sex, and it's actually not that easy to get unless you are having unprotected sex with someone who has ACTIVE herpes.
