So my friend's boyfriend found out he had herpes from a previous gf, he told!
Question: he told the friend that she couldnt get the virus from their genitals touching (she said they were naked in bed and he was idk like humping her i guess, but she said his touched her area) but you can get it that way right, i mean thats how it spreads?
She likes him and would stay by his side through this but i think she feels lied to. what should she do or say?

He may not have lied to her. He may have not known.
It's shocking how many people know that they have herpes, and still don't know how it is spread. That's how I got it (and I feel like an absolute fool for not doing the research myself.) I believed that my boyfriend knew what he was talking about. And he wasn't lying. He was just dumb.
I'd suggest that she do a whole bunch of research into this disease and then decide what she wants to do. If she wants to do a great public service for all his future girlfriends (and all their future partners) she should educate him about his disease.
I'd start at the web site of the American Social Health Association. They have lots of reliable, up-to-date information on herpes transmission, treatment and testing. They also have a toll-free hotline (in the US) where you can get additional information from a real person.
Great question.
He lied to her and obvioulsy doesn't care about her health. She could and probably has gotten herpes from him. She should leave him for being so inconsiderate.
Yes you can get it this way it is not contracted through fluid but by direct contact skin to skin and it can be passed even if there is no visible sore. But if you are careful you can prevent spreading it. If he lied about that he will lie about other things she should be careful.
She can still get it. Tell her she can still be with him, but to refrain from any sort of sexual activity, at least until she finds ways that she won't get it (he'll need to take medicine, and they will need to use a condom). Make sure she knows that she's lucky he even told her, and that there is always a chance she will get the virus. If she wants to get herpes for the rest of her life, and she thinks this boy is worth it, then let her know to have all the genital contact she wants.
well at least he told her about him having herpes. and u can get it just from the rubbing of gentials to genitals. it can also spread via oral sex. he may not have known because u can have herpes and not know it until u have an outbreak. if she thinks that she cant trust this guy to be streight with her then, i don't think she should stay with him. if he is lying about that what else could he be lying about. she should find out all the ways to prevent the spreading of herpes and he should be on medication to prevent/suppres his outbreaks.
