I've read alot of times that instances of herpes in kids are from receiving kisses from adults. isn't it true you can only get herpes from skin to skin contact only if there is a cut on the skin? when kids get kisses it's usually not on their lips, which is a mocus membrane, so what do they mean when they say kids usually get herpes from adults kissing them? that's implying that a kiss on a child's cheek is enough to give them herpes..
