Genital herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection: Recurrence rates? Risk to future children?
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Finding out that you have herpes [2] can be a worrying experience, especially if you're unsure how this may affect your sex life and capacity to have a healthy child. Generally, for people with herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) [3], there is a risk of transmission to future sexual partners through oral, vaginal, and anal sex ? even if the infection is asymptomatic. However, the likelihood of transmission to newborns rare. That said, since herpes manifests in and affects people differently, it?s difficult to predict what your experience might be. While transmission rates are lower when there isn?t an active outbreak, using barrier methods (such as condoms [4] or dental dams [5]) and open communication can help ensure that the infection isn?t transmitted between partners.
