First of all, I don't think you mean (contact) herpes. You can't give herpes a text message or a phone call. I believe the word is contract spelled (contract)The Herpes virus is very contagious and can be transmitted from one person to another buy just touching one of the open cold sores whether it be on the lips, genitals or anywhere on the body. You don't have to have *** in order to get the herpes virus. This holds true to both men and women at any age.
