A member asked:
Can your doctor tell if you are viremic with the herpes virus, can had tell if it was passed through the placenta to baby while pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes simplex: It is not possible to determine whether herpes virus is in the bloodstream on a routine basis. Transplacental acquisition of this virus by the fetus is quite uncommon, and the usual manner of infection is through vaginal delivery or postpartum touching by an infected person.
