Can one get herpes even without penetration? How do herpes pass from one to another? Any cure for it? Can an unhygenic virign partner pass it on to another virgin partner?

Yes you get herpes by skin to skin contact. So if an infected person rubs your genitals you can get herpes. If they have a cold sore in the mouth and they give you oral sex you can get genital herpes. Herpes is not transferred by bodily fluids. Also even if you dont have a sore you can still pass it on to others. But there is daily medication that can significantly reduce your chance of getting it.

There is no cure for Herpes, not yet at least. Its in your body for life. But medication can help maintain it and some people dont even have outbreaks.

Yes you can still be virgins and have herpes. Like I said before: If you have a cold sore in or on your mouth and you give that person oral sex then you could have given that person herpes. Again its skin to skin. Now if you are a virgin the chances of you having herpes is very slim.
