WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF MY GIRL FRIEND BECOMING INFECTED?
Posted on Saturday, October 27th, 2007 at 1:27 pmMY GIRL FRIEND’S SISTER HAS GENITAL HERPES. THE SISTER IS MOVING IN WITH HER. MY GIRL FRIEND HAS TWO BOYS, 7 AND 8, THE BOYS ARE VERY AFFECTIONATE. THEY HUG AND KISS THEIR AUNT IN THE PAST. IS THERE ANY RISK OF THE BOYS BECOMING INFECTED?
Not at all. I don’t see how they could be at risk. Herpes Simplex Virus is passed only when it’s active through skin to skin contact and usually through some sort of sexual activity. I really don’t see how your girlfriend’s sister would be able to pass her herpes on to her sister’s boys, ya know?
MY GIRL FRIEND AND HER SISTER ARE GOING TO SLEEP IN THE SAME BED. WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF MY GIRL FRIEND BECOMING INFECTED?
You aren’t going to contract herpes from objects. Herpes doesn’t just jump off the person onto the sheets and then onto the person that is sleeping next to you. Herpes is skin-to-skin.
WHEN THE LAUNDRY IS DONE SHOULD THE PERSONS UNDERGARMENTS THAT IS INFECTED BE LAUNDERED SEPERATE?
There is no reason to make special arrangements for how to do laundry either. Herpes doesn’t survive outside of the body on clothes, etc. She can mix everybody’s clothes up and do laundry all at once if she wants to. I really think that maybe you are over reacting just a tad bit, don’t you?
ARE THERE ANY BOOKS WE CAN BUY TO HELP US ON THIS MATTER. MY GIRL FRIEND IS WORRIED SICK HER BOYS MAY BE EXPOSED…. HELP WITH ADVICE PLEASE…
Yes! There are books you can order that will help you get this figured out. Also, don’t be afraid to talk to your doctor. Write down any other questions that you might have so you won’t forget which ones you wanted to ask.
