Yes, it is possible to contract herpes even if the person you had sex with did not have a visible outbreak. Herpes can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact and shedding of the virus can occur even when there are no symptoms or sores present.

If you have concerns about potential exposure to herpes, consider getting tested for peace of mind and consult a healthcare provider for further guidance on prevention and management strategies.
