I have been fooling around with a kid at my job for a few months now. We would hook up every now and then, just on occasion. We recently hung out together and he ended up performing oral sex on me. I then returned the favor, and we had sex. A couple weeks later, I went to the doctor with intense vaginal discomfort and itching. Turns out I had contracted herpes. At first I was really angry, but then I realized that being angry about it isn't going to make the herpes go away. I told him so that he could go and get tested also. Luckily enough for him, he doesn't have genital herpes. He has herpes in the form of occasional cold sores. So, the saliva from his mouth transferred the herpes virus to my vagina. Oddly enough, this situation had brought us a lot closer because we are both stuck in the same boat, and because we can relate to each other. We don't feel so alone. He isn't as bad off as I am obviously, but it still affects his life.
herpes is not transmitted through saliva. It is transmitted from skin to skin contact.
