A member asked:

34 weeks pregnant, hsv 1 igg positive due to cold sore a year ago (had break out). not tested for igm. could this affect the baby, any advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If u have anti: Bodies in the blood that will not affect anything, if you have an active vulvar out break then that would be bad if u had a vaginal delivery, for women who have a a prior vulvar or vagina herpes outbreak, Valtrex (valacyclovir) can be taken 1gm/day the last 4 weeks to prevent an outbreak, if u get an active vulvar outbreak at the end u must have a csection.
