Yes, HSV-2 (herpes simplex virus type 2) can be transmitted through contact with genital fluids from someone who has the infection. Herpes is most commonly spread through skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity and can be present even without visible sores or symptoms. Using condoms and practicing safe sex are important preventative measures to reduce the risk of herpes transmission. If you have concerns about potential exposure to HSV-2, it's advisable to consult a healthcare provider for guidance on testing and treatment options.
