Q: I have HSV-2, daughter 11 has symtoms of first breakout,no sexual activity, did I pass it at birth?

SHe is 11yo no sexual activity of any kind, I do not breakout, but My ex did, and we both tested pos+. I had a vagnal birth, was told she was NEG< but she has what sounds and looks like the initial outbreak. itiching for a few days, swelling, blisters that open and scab. Is it posible that she has been a dormant carrier and now she is active?

its possible when they tested her after birth the test was a false negative. Its positive that she is a carrier & now she is showing signs. Are u sure u dont have type 1 to? Thats a lil easier to get. She could of got that from you just from drinking out of the same glass or whatever ju know. What i would do is get her on some valtrex & make sure she dont pick on them or nothing.
