Herpes is easily transmitted. Contact with the blisters or ulcers, for example while kissing or having sex, carries a particularly high risk. But herpes can also be passed on as a droplet or smear infection, for example via coughing, sneezing or sharing a glass. The virus can also spread from one part of the body to another, via the hands for example.
Particularly dangerous: herpes can be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her baby. It is then life threatening for the newborn.
