A member asked:
In what way can a child get infected with herpes simplex type 1?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes 1: Herpes is a very common infection and most people have had it in their lifetime. It most commonly causes "cold sores". The virus stays with us and can reactivate. Before you realize it you are shedding the virus and if you are with a child who has not had it they can get it very easily.
