Under normal sanitary conditions, one or both parents suffer from genital herpes, which usually does not affect their children and the risk of infection to them is very small. However, parents should realize that when suffering from cold sores, HSV can only be transmitted through kissing, causing serious disseminated infection in newborns. Fortunately, when the baby is about 6 months old, its immune system has been able to cope with the virus infection well. When infants and children are exposed to HSV for the first time after being kissed by someone with oral herpes, it may lead to herpes gingivitis, which can heal itself and is largely unrecognized and unnoticed.
I suggest that you treat the offspring. I wish you good health!
