A member asked:
Can parent with herpes of the genitals and mouth give the virus to a child through routine, non-sexual contact?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This is very common. Parents kiss their children, touch their own mouths and then the child, and other forms of activities which can result in transmission.
