A member asked:
Is hsv1 as dangerous to a 6 month old as it is to a newborn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More: Newborns are born with [passive immunity] their mother's immune globulins. This gradually wanes and the new person must evolve their own immunities. Hsv1 is ubiquitous. All babies are exposed, usually with no harm. Immune deficiencies and severe eczema are 2 exceptions.
