Can i pass herpes to my toddler?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk of herpes : There are 2 kinds of herpes- the cold sore type (HSV-1) & genital herpes (HSV-2). Both viruses cause painful, unsightly red blistery lesions when they flare up. These are infectious to the touch to others. For transmission to a child, it's possible for HSV-1 the cold sore virus to come across in saliva such as sharing drinks/utensils/wet kissing etc. During times of outbreak- TRY HARD 2 limit that
