A member asked:
Is it safe for me to be around my daughter who is 13 weeks pregnant and my 19 month old grandson if i have a herpes sore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contact transmission: Herpes is past by skin to skin contact. If this is a genital herpes outbreak then there is no issue. If this is an oral herpes simply practice good hygiene with hand washing and avoid direct contact with the lesion while it is actively present.
