yes Rebel. If someone is a Known Herpes carrier, the baby will be delivered by Csection. but the baby does not go blind when it is treated.

It was always my understanding that it CAN be transferred even if not in an outbreak stage. Are you saying that is incorrect?

they are not listening to her... that's not what she is saying.... IF they contract an HIV or STD in the house the HGs would not sue CBS... NOR would they allow someone in the house who was contagous.... my husband is a carrier of strep and has no symptoms.... but has passed it on to me who have passed it on to our kids... matty says he never shares his cups with anyone but he did taste amanda's slop from her same spoon, so what's the difference.

It strikes me that it is really really scarey that an Uneducated person feels that they "KNOW" medical diagnosis and symptoms just because they read it thru their paperwork. And with MONO it can be lifethreaten and Amanda misses trying to scare people with that one. I've dealt with young teenagers in Full organ shutdown due to Mono. Very serious

sun: I agree: the child will not go blind IF treated--- all babies unless parents sign a waiver will have ointment in their eyes to prevent blindness IN CASE the mother does not know she has an STD....

Bee, it is true that it can be spread even when there is no outbreak. I was single for many years during the 90's so I did a lot of research before hitting the dating scene.

everyone has strep Rebel. it is normal flora It was always my understanding that it CAN be transferred even if not in an outbreak stage. Are you saying that is incorrect? no, i'm not. but it is rare from what I understand. I personally do not do Herpes testing but have handled info. I have been plagued my whole life with Cold sores though. I KNOW it is not transferred below the waist,. That is how they are split..Above the waist/ below the waist

I think Amanda has some serious issues, I've seen other women use fear of disease as an excuse to avoid relationships - the longer they avoid, the more defensive they become. No man is ever "clean" enough for them.

in canada we treat everyone as if they may be infectious. Just our standard working procedure, that way you are always using safety gear

It strikes me that it is really really scarey that an Uneducated person feels that they "KNOW" medical diagnosis and symptoms just because they read it thru their paperwork. me too But I think in Amanda's case it does no harm to suggest to them they might want to be a bit more thoughtful about all that "swapping spit"...except that is IS a buzzkill.

I wonder about that too Auntie. There comes a time that you have to Trust your partner and just take a risk. The good thing about HIV it is a hard disease to catch. I myself have stabbed myself with Needles directly fresh with blood from an HIV person at least twice. I've also had numerous splashes and cuts from unknown individuals. you find out your glove is cut and you have no idea whom and where. I am free and clear of HIV and its been more than ten years.

This I didn't know: Unfortunately, when infants do contract neonatal herpes, the results can be tragic. About half of infants who are treated with antiviral medication escape permanent damage. But others may suffer serious neurological damage, mental retardation or death. It's fear of these terrible consequences, rather than the level of risk, that makes neonatal herpes a concern.

Sun: each stick will be determined upto 10 years from that stick.... just makes your job and my sons very risky... testing or not... tests are right now, not if the incubation period is up.... just saying....

which is why they do Csections if the mom has herpes. But there are many other things that affect the baby. Even jaudice will cause mental retardation if the level goes too high.

Sun are you a nurse? I applauded anyone in the medical field. You are exposed to so much and you do the work that not everyone can do. When my dad was in the hospital I was amazed at the staff that took care of him. They were just great.

luckily, I feel HIV is probably like the other viruses that affect people. Some people get sick, some get mildly ill and some never get sick at all! My first direct contact was 1984. I think I'm in the Clear!

well truthfully my friend has herpes and when she was pregnant she had a cut off date before her due date.. i think it was 4 to 6 weeks before that if she had an outbreak they would do a C-section otherwise it was safe to do a vaginal birth. http://www.herpes.com/pregnancy.shtml Yep looks like things are about the same.. The risk is highest if you contract it during pregnancy but if you know you have it the baby will have the antibodies that would allow it to fight it off. An outbreak around delivery time would mean a c-section to be safest.
