A member asked:

Can my gf if she got pregnant trasmit herpes to the baby if its oral? i have a strong immune system i tested igg 158 but maybe her immune is weak

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: After the initial acquisition, the herpes virus will inhabit the tissue sector where it starts.It will then go through cycles of shedding & hibernation. The risk for baby comes from either a primary maternal infection having a blood phase or any shedding phase where the baby is exposed to virus.The genital lesions can sometimes be hard to spot & the OB will be on the lookout for activity.
