I doubt this could happen, but you never know...?

Sarahaha - If you won't stay calm, then don't get excited as over half the people alive will get a infection, either the type usually ociated with cold sores ( type 1) or genital ( type 2) contact. There is no absolute way to guarantee anyone will never get the virus. Among the ually-transmitted diseases (STDs), is the least worrisome though it may produce slightly painful sores temporarily. There is now some effective treatment available. Scientists are working to develop vaccines against viruses as they have just done to prevent the STD infection of human papillomavirus (HPV) which is strongly suspected in some cases of causing cancer of the uterus. What to do to reduce your chances of getting ? Practice safer , when you are ually active, by use of condoms. Avoid kissing when you see "sores" about the lips or genital areas. The fewer partners anyone has, the lower the chances of getting herpes. In any case, be careful but don't worry. Get on with your life.
