Can I spread Herpes when I am not experiencing an outbreak?

Living Sphere :: FAQ
Yes, herpes can be spread whilst no symptoms are present. The virus can be active at the skins surface and viral particles can be shed and passed on to another at this time. This is called 'asymptomatic shedding' because there are no symptoms present. The good news is that this occurs very rarely. The bad news is that without clinical testing it is impossible to know when this is occurring.
