If I have herpes type 2 in my genitalia only not my mouth or any other part, can I kiss someone without transferring the disease on the cheek or the mouth?

I'm not understanding that question? Saliva isn't in the genitalia. Can you clarify that question please? Thanks!

What I mean is when you kiss someone maybe a little saliva will be present so can saliva carry the virus if you only have it in the genitalia area only ? Also can I share drinks with others (note I only have it in the genitalia area ) thanks a lot

No, if you only have the virus in the genital area, you cannot transmit this to someone else by kissing them or giving them oral sex.
