You can get it on hand with out sexual conduct. I did
just passing through
Saturday, May 30, 2009 at 07:42 PMI cant believe it but I acquired it from simply handshaking another individual--stranger. Prior to the day before my hand was itching so i scratched it and scraped off the top layer of skin..nothing major... a few days later as the scratch was healing an individual approached me and I shook his hand. I didnt wash my hands right away as i dont have a phobia for germs... like i do now... anyway later that eve... my hand starting really itching and within hours i thought it was staph. Culture was taken and its herpes. I cannot believe it... and I have a strong, strong immune... just beware and void those others who say you can't get it from a handshake....

There are different prodrome symtoms for people. usually the itching starts first, then redness, then the blisters. the symptoms show up in 2 - 14 days afterward. so more then likely u got it 2 to 14days before you shook his hand or had it already never knew it and just had another outbreak.

I have recently found out that I have herpes and your comment on transmittion made me think of whether it can be transmitted whilst bathing with a partner or child!
Is this a possibility either when shedding or having symptoms?
