Hi all, is it possible to have herpes type 2 without having sexual contact?

The most is touching of pussy out the panties and receiving of hand job?

Genital herpes is acquired through skin contact with infected partners usually during sexual intercourse. It is most infectious when lesions appear on the skin during an outbreak. Even when there are no visible symptoms, there is still a risk that the virus is being transmitted through physical contact.

How many people in the world actually carry Herpes?

HSV 1 – 80% to 90%. Oh yes. Scary thought. HSV 2 – 16% (This study is only for people between the ages of 19 and 49. It could be more if the age range was wider.) Yes it is extremely common. Which means universal screening for Herpes might not be too useful. In other words, if you do not have symptoms, you might not want to screen for Herpes as statistically, there is a good chance your test will turn out positive.

How many people develop symptoms?

When a person is first infected with HSV 1, 74% of them do NOT develop any symptoms. Same goes for HSV 2 except the number is a little lower at 63%.
As time goes by, 57% of people infected with HSV 1 in the genitals will develop symptoms. The number is much higher for HSV 2 at 89%. Those with HSV 1 infection of the genitals have a median of 1.3 outbreaks per year and those with HSV 2 infections of the genitals have a median of 4 outbreaks per year.

This means there are a good number of people infected with HSV that go through life happily oblivious of the fact.

What’s this thing about asymptomatic viral shedding?

That means even when a person does not show any symptoms, he/she is still shedding the virus and can infect someone else. Recent very smart studies using repeat genital sampling and spatial mathematical modelling have demonstrated that reactivations are brief (i.e. <12 h) and occur frequently. More specifically, 80% to 90% of people infected with HSV 2 undergo asymptomatic viral shedding in approximately 20% of days.
This means that many people are spreading Herpes without even realizing it. This makes it very challenging if not impossible to completely protect oneself from getting Herpes.

There will always be 0.01% of risk involving commerial sex even if theres no involvement in fj

if i'm squeezed beside a herpes carrier in a crowded train and there is skin-skin contact, there's also a chance that i'll be infected?

physical contacts in a sardine packed mrt cabin is very common during peak hours

so just wondering

doesnt the statement says enough? . there is still a risk
the risk increases when lesions are present

Herpes favours specific parts of the body.

Infections above the waist reside in the ganglia behind the cheek bone and outbreaks would take place around the facial region typically the lips.

Infections below the waist hide in the nerve ganglia adjacent to the spinal cord in the lower back. This causes outbreaks on the genitals, anus, buttocks, groin ie the areas which would be covered by boxer shorts.

It is very unlikely that you'll catch herpes from a fully clothed person in an MRT carriage by coming into contact with arms, elbows, hands, knees etc as outbreaks in these areas are rare.

to add to sam comments
sam is right. it is not common to get it esp if you are fully clothed...
but the risk is still there nevertheless, esp for the exposed part..

u should read on cutaneous herpes simplex infection

but hey, dont worrying abt it too much....many people has that virus and is living well
