Can herpes be sexually transmitted among lesbians?

Can herpes be sexually transmitted among lesbians?My new GF has had a herpes outbreak in the past and is concerned about my contracting it from her. We want to be cautious and are not well informed on this subject.

I think herpes is fairly easily transmitted..but I'm not a doctor or a lesbian...so I think that maybe you should get your info from both of those sources :)

yes it can be spread by any sexual contact. You should go to the doctor and find out any nessescary precautions you both can take to cut back on the risk of transmission.

All sexually transmitted disease can be issued through intimate contact, so yes it can.

This is a government organization website that discusses STDs in lesbians:

It also has links to support groups, etc. I am glad to see that you are taking a proactive step on this issue.
Also, thanks for the pertinent question, its great to see someone actually using Y!A for a decent purpose.
