    I was just recently diagnosed as well with HSV 2 and I'm afraid to pass it to my son. Please tell me what are my chances of passing this disease to my son. If I should kiss him on the lips or on the cheek? This is taking a toll on my life as a single mom.

    I am living with herpes for 8 years old and become a member of herpes dating site http://herpesmates.com/. at first I would only date people that already had it, but now I have the courage to have 'The Talk' and have been very successful, all of this has been because of the support and friendship I received from the site and still continue to receive.

    Furious This is no way to meet people. Support groups can be ok but not these dating sites. You don't know the people that join and I wouldn't trust anyone on any kind of dating site anyway! Why are people so willing to trust the internet? I was abducted due to this so called internet trust and wouldn't want it to happen to anyone else. Be careful of these sites!

    As for kissing, yes, it is possible to transmit, even though rare since saliva contains virus when you are shedding it.
