Really Dumb Question

Okay, Its been forever since i read stuff about STDs, but can you spread herpes by going in a pool if you have it?  I have genital herpes and not that I would want to go in a pool with an outbreak anyway, well  i have only had one outbreak so far, but let me tell you that was the most painful, uncomfortable, felt like i was going to die feeling i have ever had.  So yeah, im talking about when i dont have an active outbreak going on or dont think i am going to get one.

You can not spread herpes that way. You would need some kind of sexual contact.
No question is a dumb question. I bet you would find 100's of other people with the same question.
