Hi, my 15 year old has oral herpes (I'm assuming from me) but we're not a kissing family. I've been trying to be cautious (washing hands) ever since my OB's early 2012 blood results (in which I noticed a white lesion on my then 11 year old's lip around that time as well but I did not have any outbreaks then & could not bring myself to take 15 yr old to pediatrician for official diagnosis). We used to share ice cream/utensils, taste each other's food, use same toothpaste (different toothbrush though & different towels/washcloths) etc...though, could that have been how it was transmitted?
