Can hsv2 be transmitted through sperm?

Best Answers

That’s a great question because different STDs can be transmitted in different ways. Unlike many other STDs that can be passed through body fluids, herpes is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. read more

However, it would need to be transmitted via skin contact. That being said, for people who have genital herpes, even it they only have sores/rash in a certain area, the whole "boxer shorts" area is the zone that is contagious. read more

herpes can be present in semen , urine, vaginal fluids and saliva. Just contact with those isn't the risk though, it's more the heat and friction of the actual sex act that is the issue. there are some documented cases of folks contracting hsv2 through artificial insemination though. read more
