herpes
Hi. My husband just found out that he has non std form of herpes esophagitis. Can other people in our catch this?
The answer is, as beanie485 stated, that "during outbreaks" it is contagious.
The problem is in identifying the period when there is an "outbreak", especially the transition period between being non-contagious and contagious.
As mj29841 stated, the primary means of transmission is direct contact.
