Herpes TransmissionWhen is herpes most likely to be spread? There are some times when herpes is more likely to be spread than others. Recognizing this can help you avoid transmission to others. Herpes is more easily spread when a sore is present- when the herpes virus is active is your body. However, it can also be spread at other times. Some people might have “prodromal symptoms” of itching, tingling and other skin sensations before any sores actually occur. Another thing that you have to keep in mind is that after the initial outbreak, many people may be in the active stage and not even know it. Or you may have only one small sore that is hard to see. Women can have an outbreak on the cervix but never show any signs on the outer vaginal area. So knowing exactly when you are in the active stage of a herpes outbreak is not always as clear cut as with your initial outbreak. Herpes is most likely to be spread from the first moment these symptoms appear (itching, burning, etc) until the skin is completely healed and looks normal again and all symptoms are gone. Since the symptoms can vary from person to person, it is not always easy to tell if you are in the active stage of herpes so you need to understand that you can always spread herpes to someone else. Your sexual partners need to know the risk involved. You also need to know effective ways to avoid spreading herpes to others- no matter which type you have.
