[quote=Anonymous]Hmmm, I have herpes. I have always been extremely careful with hygiene though. I have never ever heard of someone spreading genital herpes to another unless throguh sexual contact. The virus is present in active sores, saliva, semen, and vaginal mucus. And has to enter in a skin abrasion or mucous membranes like vagina, mouth/lips, anus. If your mom washes hands before handing the baby, it will be fine. You could pull the paranoid new mom thing and insist on that if you don't want to talk about herpes directly. And I'd actually be more worried about cold sores transmitting the virus to a baby than genital herpes....[/quote]
