A member asked:
If i just found out i have herpes and i've been giving my daughter kisses on the lips before i knew, does she have it, too?

What type?: You can pass herpes (type 1 or 2) from your lips if you have active lesions on your lips or in your mouth and you expose others to these lesions. Rarely are others infected without lesions being present. Your daughter would have lesions visible if she were infected.
