Airborne/respiratory
Contact with lesion material
Contact with bodily fluids from infected person
Transmission more likely if sharing same bed or room or utensils as infected person
An increased transmission risk is associated with factors involving the introduction of virus to the oral mucosa.
The virus enters the body through broken skin (even if not visible), respiratory tract, or the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth).
