can you get herpes without having any sexual contact such as sex and oral sex ?

Correction
- naked just body contact but no sexual contact?
- can this person possibly have asymtomatic shedding transmit hsv2 from all over the body contact? Or just @ genitals have hsv2 on skin? Is physical skin to skin touching able to transmit hsv2?
- if I share bathtub with above mentioned, no sexual contact, can hsv2 be transmitted?

What if I are naked with someone - can that person with asymtomatic shedding transmit HsV2 to me

Oh I know that, she didnt state that she wasnt though. I have friend that contracted genital herpes without either sex or oral. The female had been naked and was just sitting on his lap.  Crazy stuff!

you have to be at least naked with someone and "fooling around" to get herpes on other body parts from open lesions.

if you haven't had sexual contact then you don't have genital herpes. many things can cause issues in the genital area and you have absolutely no reason to suspect that you have genital herpes if you haven't had sexual contact or oral sex.

I have read that it is possible. If you come in contact with a "sore" and you have broken skin yourself then it may be passed.

No, you cannot get genital herpes without sexual contact. That's why it's called a sexually transmitted disease.
