Can herpes be transmitted to nipples?

FAQ

Yes, it is possible for herpes to be transmitted to the nipples through close contact with an infected person’s mouth or genital area during sexual activity. Herpes is a highly contagious viral infection that can be spread through skin-to-skin contact, including during oral sex, vaginal sex, and anal sex. The virus can also be spread through kissing, touching, or sharing sex toys with an infected person. It is important to use barrier methods, such as condoms or dental dams, and to communicate openly with sexual partners about any history of herpes or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you suspect you may have been exposed to herpes or any other STI, it is important to seek medical attention and get tested to prevent further spread of the infection.
