Posted by: admin : Category: Herpes medication
the outbreak is new the cream is just applied. is the person still contageous to classmates or anyone for that matter after application.
unless they are taking medication to help prevent them from passing it and to help them control their outbreaks, they are still contagious.they are even more contagious when they have sores, cold sores or blisters. the only way that classmates can catch herps from them is if they have some form of sexual contact with the person who has herpes. ie kissing, oral sex, or sexual intercourse.

You are contagious for as long as the sores are draining.

yes there is no cure, there is only treatment for the outbreak and you are contagious at all times not just during an outbreak
Unfortunately all forms of Herpes do not only spread when
there is an outbreak although this is the period where the risk
is at it highest. Most of the time the virus is
latent but can still spread even when there is no outbreak. In
the so called viral shedding period the virus is also contagious.
The viral shedding period is when the virus reproduces itself and can be easily
be passed on to others via skin contact. This can happen without visible symptoms.
Herpes can not be cured and is very difficult to prevent. It is
estimated that 50-80% of the world’s population have the Herpes virus
and many don’t even know it.

a person with herpes is always at risk of passing it on. Preventing sexual contact when sympoms/sores are present along with anti-viral meds help lessen the risk of passing it on.
HSV oral can be passed on somewhat easily – so do not share drinks or utensils with them but daily rutine contact should not pass it on.
HSV genital can only be passed from skin to skin contact of the genital area to another part of the body. Most people in the US 70-80% are already infected with HSVI and 25-30% are infected with HSVII.
