can men who have gential herpes have kids of their own?

Answer 1

Of course they can!

Genital herpes does not affect the reproductive organs, unlike some other STDs. It won't cause a man (or women for that matter) to become sterile or infertile and has no affect on the sperm itself.

Genital herpes is RARELY passed down from the mother to the child during birth. I've read chances of a baby being born with herpes from the mother who has herpes is a less than 1% chance.

Be very very careful with this! It is completely possible, but there are also risks you need to try and avoid. Simply for the chance of it, the mother should have a C-section. I know a man whose son was born to a woman with herpes, though not having outbreaks. When he was coming out of the birth canal, fluids went into his mouth and throat. Around two years old, he lost his voice and they found out he had herpes in his throat, especially on his voice box. They had to do surgery to keep it from shutting his throat off and to try and save his voice. His voice has never been the same, it sounds like a raspy whisper. Early on he was going for 1-3 surgeries a year, then less and less. At the age of about seven, he had been through 8 or 9 surgeries. Please beg the woman to have a C-section, because that could be her child, and it's so hard to deal with it, seeing them hurt.

Answer 6

yes they can. they just want to make sure they are not having an outbreak, when they have sex with their partner. The child should be born with out gential herpes as long as the mother does not have herpes. I also researched and was told if a mother has a c section, that cuts down on the chance that the baby will be born with herpies.

Answer 7

Yes.

Facts About Genital Herpes


* Genital herpes has a phase called prodrome. During this phase, you get sensations such as tingling, itching or some pain, etc. You then know that the herpes will break out in a few days - a day or two or more.

* Genital herpes can easily spread during this prodrome period or during active outbreak. It may also spread when no outward signs are present, because the virus remains active on the skin.

* Genital herpes commonly gets transferred through skin cuts or mucous membranes. Oral cavity, vagina, anus and glans penis are all covered with mucous membrane.

* Genital herpes does not cause serious health problems, but a person suffering from it is more susceptible to get HIV.

* Asymptomatic reactivation or asymptomatic shedding is the phase during which herpes can spread without any outward sign.

* Anti-viral therapy can reduce the probability of spread. Your doctor will tell you about it.

* Herpes is diagnosed with viral culture during active outbreaks. During dormancy (no visible signs), a blood test can be done. But these tests are not very accurate.

* If a person has cold sores and performs oral sex, his/her partner may get genital herpes with virus type 1.

* The herpes virus cannot live long on dead surfaces such as toilet seats, towels, etc. It is rare to contact herpes from these objects.

* Herpes is caused by viruses HSV1 and HSV2. HSV1 commonly causes oral herpes or cold sores and HSV2 normally causes genital herpes. However both these viruses can be found in oral cavity or near/on genitals.

* HSV2, which commonly causes genital herpes, may be present in the mouth but it rarely affects the mouth.

* Use of ointments or creams on genital herpes may slow down treatment. Speak to your doctor about this before using any thing.

* It is difficult for a mother to pass on herpes to her newborn unless she has contacted herpes during the last three months of pregnancy or if she has active herpes during delivery. In that case, doctors recommend cesarean section.
