Can you get herpes from someone with it kissing on your stomach and chest?

I know this may sound dumb but I’m just worried and unsure.

    No. They would have to kiss you on your mouth (if they have herpes on their mouth), or they would have to give you oral sex while they have a break out. 

    If it's genital herpes, you would have to have intercourse with them while, or around the time they had a break out. You would be unlikely to get herpes on your stomach, even if some one did kiss you there while they had a break out. Herpes rarely occurs away from the mouth or genitals. 

    Herpes is rarely passed out side of those activities.

    You're absolutely right.  It sounds really dumb.

    Theoretically if there are active oral lesions on the kisser and broken skin on the stomach and chest, then it is possible.  But in more typical situations, not at all likely.   Glad you asked before Yahoo Answers folds!

    Believed generally,  No.  It requires fluid transfer like saliva into mucus, saliva, or blood.
