So a little over two weeks after my son was born, I noticed that he had two pimples on his private area. But it happened once. He didnt seem bothered by it. I have hsv 1, and I dont want him to have it? Doctor never confirmed what it was?

My HSV-1 IgG showed positive. But I never had any outbreaks or symptoms yet. So not sure its oral or genital. My wife is negative. We are planning to have a baby together. I am worried if I can transmit her any HSV1 which I definitely don't want to?
