Can I transmit herpes even if I have no symptoms?

You sure can.


Despite what everyone thinks, not all herpes infections are associated with symptoms. A significant number of individuals have no symptoms at all and never even know they have a herpetic infection. 


Despite the fact these individuals have no signs or symptoms of an infection; they all have the capability of transmitting the infection to their partners. Most people who acquire genital herpes get it from a partner who has no symptoms. 


It is doubtful if anyone sane would have any type of a sexual activity with a partner in the presence of full-blown herpes infection. In fact, in the presence of an active infection, the affected individual will not have the desire to have sex with anyone.
