Q: i just found out i have gentital herpes. should i worry for my kids 3 and 13. i never had a outbreak, sore or anything. my kids have drank and eaten after me are they safe.
Your kids are fine. Just make sure when they snuggle on your lap that there is not skin to skin contact on the thighs and buttock area even without active symptoms. The virus when active can transfer from those areas even without sexual relations. Check out this website: http://consults.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/18/giving-your-partner-herpes/.
