A member asked:
Can you give a person genital herpes if you never have an outbreak? what's the chances of a female having children if she has genital herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you carry the: Herpes simplex virus then it can shed virus even when you don't have an outbreak. Having herpes simplex infection does not mean a woman can't have a baby - but the issue of potentially infecting the baby at birth needs to be addressed.
