HOw do i spread herpes? i have a nephew whos only 3 months and ive been in close contact with him but ive been told i cant spread it unless i have a breakout.

do you have genital or oral herpes?

If oral, don't kiss him.
If genital, just wash your hands with soap after using the bathroom (or touching the area).

You CAN spread it, even if you're not having an outbreak. That's how most people get the virus, in fact.

well i have been kissing him and i have to watch him.

im scared i gave it to him but people at clinics and doctors only told me i can spread it if i have a outbreak, and i never have had an outbreak before.
