A member asked:

I was told that i had hsv 1 antibodies. my friend's baby cheek brushed against my lips slightly, should i tell my friend to have her baby tested?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Of course not: Most people have hsv1 antibodies. You're not going to make a baby or anybody else sick unless you have an open hsv sore. Don't kiss babies if you can tell your fever blister is active. Otherwise, lead a normal life.
