Genital herpes... and kids?

Question

if u have Genital herpes , and u want kids do u have to give ur partner it.... do u kno anyone with Genital herpes..

Answer 1

You can avoid giving it to your parter while trying to concieve by taking Valtrex, which is a viral inhibitor, which prevents the virus from erupting (causing an "outbreak"). This is available only by prescription. If you have herpes, it is used to make your outbreaks much shorter and less painful.

(As a note, "prevents" here is used like "condoms prevent pregnancies" ... nothing is 100%.)

Obviously, if you are having an outbreak, you should either abstain from sex or use a condom (both of course, preventing you from conceiving). Of course, outbreaks being painful, the idea of having sex, no matter what the ultimate goal, during this time is probably unappealing.

If you have herpes, the standard treatment during pregnancy is for the OB/GYN to prescribe Valtrex to be taken daily during the last month of the pregnancy. This will inhibit the virus, keeping you from having an outbreak, and lower the probability of you passing it to your child during a vaginal delivery. A C-section will obviously by-pass the issue, since there is no contact between the baby and the vagina.

Talk to your primary doctor or your obstetrician about the issue. I am not sure if you can pass the virus to your child when it is not active?

You can be with someone for years and not give them herpes, if you are careful about avoiding sex when you notice or think you might be having an outbreak (Between 2 marriages, I've managed not to give it to either husband over the course of 17 years.)

I have both a family member and a friend with Herpes, and as long as you don't have an active outbreak during sex, concieving shouldn't be a problem, with little risk of passing it on. However, even with no symptoms you can still pass herpes to your partner, so its always better to use back-up like Valtrex. Don't let these people scare you, you would only need a C-section at the time of delivery if you had an active outbreak AT the time of delivery. (Just take my word on this, I know)

Answer 5

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes virus (type 2) about 3 yrs ago, whilst I was still attending college and had a foolish one-night stand. I realize lots of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone who has sores round her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/BbKIH everything got better.

Not only was I able to remove all remnants of the hsv from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This method gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

Answer 6

chances are if you are w/ a person dignificant enough to have kids you will @ some point have an open lesion and give the person herpes. You can be treated so the breakouts are far less and last a smaller amt of time. Unless of course you are a sperm donor or wish to have a sperm donor. just w/ someone long enough to get pregnant. but that is not a good cituation for the child. or just be aware and don't have sex when you have or are getting a lesion

Answer 7

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.

Be extremely careful. Even then, it's possible to pass it on if your partner is shedding. As mentioned above, Valtrex helps, but not 100%. I got it from my husband when he was taking 1 gram of Valtrex daily with no signs of outbreak. The tricky thing about getting pregnant with herpes is that if you get your first outbreak while you are pregnant, your baby is much more likely to get it when it's born, even if a C-section is performed. Talk to your doctor and discuss your intentions to become pregnant and your partner's situation.

you can have sex w/ genital herpes w/o spreading to it to your partner as long as you are careful not to have contact during an outbreak. medication can also prevent spreading it. if you wish to get pregnant you need to speak with a dr first, because it is risky to the baby to pass down the birth canal if you are infected.
