Hi Anon,

Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.

Herpes is a common skin disease that's caused by a virus and can affect your mouth and/or the area around the penis or vagina (genital), upper thighs or buttocks. You can be infected by:

  • Kissing someone with a cold sore
  • Oral, anal and vaginal sex
  • Touching any area infected with herpes

So yes, you can get it if you're not careful.  Here is some additional information for you to look into.
