Hello,

Herpes is commonly transmitted due to oral, anal and vaginal sex. It is sexually transmitted infection and you are likely to get infected if your partner has active infection. This is often caused by HSV-2 however, it could be caused by HSV-1 too. It is highly contagious.

Get clinically examined, both you and your partner should get treated with Acyclovir (Zovirax). The dose will vary depending on whether you and your partner are currently having the symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
