There is so much that your provider has to learn about herpes!
If you have HSV 1 genitally and not orally, kissing your baby is zero risk.
1.So what precautions should we take with our baby? His parents have cold sores as well so I want to be well informed.
Your partner and his parents should not kiss the baby when they have a cold sore. You may have to be the one to enforce that.
2. Can I spread it orally as well like she said ? I’ve never gotten cold sores .
See above. No
3. As far as our intimacy goes, since he gave it to me genitally from oral , i never gotten a cold sore we would always wait a week after it was fully healed but can he get it back genitally ?
Great question and a common one. the risk of him getting it genitally now is very close to zero. I have seen that happen once in my practice and had someone tell me online that it happened to them, that’s it.
