She's telling me that she doesn't have it and that the baby got it from the father! Is that possible? How can the father and the baby have it but she doesn't?

Her baby has ulcers all in it's mouth! She said it's a sign of herpes too! If our babies play together, will my baby get herpes?
HELP!!!!

It was either passed at birth...(highly unlikely, if she is 1 and just finding out) or someone kissed her with a fever blister (cold sore) and she has herpes 1...which I think 1 in every 4 to 5 people in the world have this type...it just means you get fever blisters on your mouth...

Herpes is a very common virus family, with many subtypes. It also causes cold sores in the mouth area. Herpes sometimes has no physical symptoms in adults, so it's possible the mother passed it on during birth or by kissing a "boo boo" during a flare up. Or it could have been a friend or relative with a cold sore that passed it on while sharing a cup with the baby.

I got identified with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 5 years back, whilst I was still in college and had a mindless one-night stand. I know lots of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/Qv2My everything got better.
Not only was I able to remove all remnants of the herpes simplex virus from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system provided the opportunity to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others by sharing this story.

well, if the mom has it- it is possible. the baby can catch herpes from skin contact- or even when it came out of your friend- at birth.

through the birth canal, by being touched by someone who has herpes, also, some animals can transmit a different strain of herpes that has nothing to do with your sex organs- all you have to do is come into contact with it and yooure infected.

either the baby was raped by someone w/herpes or she passed it on during birth.
