[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cleveland Clinic says:

"Oral herpes is a viral infection, and the herpes simplex virus (HSV) is the specific virus responsible. There are two types of HSV (HSV-1 and HSV-2). Both types can cause oral herpes, but HSV-1 causes most cases."

A doctor I know also said this. Of course, it is well known that many children test positive for HSV 1, but smaller number of children test positive for HSV-2, which sometimes is transmitted the ways HSV -1 is transmitted (not necessarily through sex).

if a child tests positive for HSV-2 CPS needs to be contacted immediately. [/quote]

An investigation by child protective services probably would be a good idea, but quite a few of the investigations of kids with HSV2 would show that the kid probably was not abused and just got a kiss from a family member or shared a bottle with a kid at school.  Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease but it is also a non-sexually transmitted disease.  Some people get it in their mouths even if their mouths don't touch genitals.  That's all I'm saying.

Only 11% of adults have HSV2. Pls provide data on how many kids have HSV2 since birth. It’s very uncommon and likely cause is sex abuse [/quote]

It is the reason they test you for it during pregnancy. It is not only possible but very likely to pass that onto your newborn during a vaginal birth if you're having an outbreak. Please educate yourself.

You go and educate yourself: HSV2 percentage by age is well researched: 0.8% in children (as you describe, transfer during birth). And they it grows exponentially when these children become sexually active.

Please, note that distribution varies greatly by race: only 8% of white men have HSV2 and 14% of white women. It's even lower in Asian population, likely due to conservative nature of population. I date primarily while and Asian men, and never came across ANYONE positive for HSV2 [/quote]

So as long as you now know that HSV2 can be transmitted during birth and does not immediately mean that a child was abused, as you originally claimed. [/quote]

There is 99.2% chance that the child was sexually abused [/quote]
