Avoid Cross Contamination During an active herpes episode, whether primary or recurrent, it is important to follow a few simple steps to avoid spreading the infection to other areas of the body or to other people. Herpes is easily spread by simple skin contact. Tips: • Keep the infected area clean and dry to prevent secondary infection from developing. • Try to avoid touching the sores; wash your hands with soap and water after contact with the sores. Carrying an Antibacterial hand cleanse solution is also advised. • Avoid sexual contact from the time symptoms are first recognized until the sores are completely healed, that is, until scabs have fallen off and new skin has formed over the site of the lesion. Even while using a barrier such as a condom, you still run the risk of either spreading the infection to another area of your body of passing herpes to your partner.
