Yes you can be with someone who has it without getting infected.... the incubation period is 10 to 20 days sometimes longer but not usually. The person has to be broken out and or shedding before you can catch it from them. It also has to be touched on you or the secretions transferred by hand or body parts.
People tend to think that because we have the virus that it is like a flu virus but it is not in the general way of speaking. I hope this is of some help.
: can you be with some one who has it with out getting infected?
