    Herpes is a common infection generally transmitted through skin-to-skin contact. There are several strains of the herpes virus, two of these strains commonly cause genital herpes. You can have oral herpes (on the lips, most often 'cold sores'), genital herpes (on the genitals) or non-genital herpes (herpes on other parts of the body; most often 'shingles'). Shingles is not sexually transmitted. It is a secondary event long after the initial infection with common 'chicken pox'. Shingles is usually a one-off occurrence.
