Herpes Transmission: Can Asymptomatic Men Spread the Virus?

Yes, it is possible for a boy with no herpes symptoms to give herpes to a girl. This is because the herpes virus can be present in the body even when there are no visible symptoms. This is known as asymptomatic shedding. When someone is shedding the virus, they can transmit it to another person even if they do not have any symptoms themselves.
