[soju27]

i was diagnosed with hsv 2 in mouth via oral sex..my son nwho is 3 now has hsv 2 in mouth...will he spread it to his eyes and genitals if he puts gis hands in his mouth then touches his eyes and genitals?

you should never, ever assume anything like this. Hsv2 orally is rare as well as it's not easy to transmit to others.

you need to be seen and get proper testing done yourself. it's far more likely hsv1 orally, if indeed you do have oral herpes. You can fairly easily transmit hsv1 orally to small children.  same as your child needs to see their doctor too for a proper exam.

statistically1 out of every 3 preschoolers has hsv1 orally. it's very common. You won't find a preschool where none of the children or the care takers don't have oral herpes!!!

to be honest, i never got tested but i am 100% sure it is herpes and it its probably hsv2 because it was from genital to my oral...now my son has all the symptoms in his mouth...if he touches his mouth then his eys and genitals will it transmitt?..i live in hawaii and it seems like there are no children with hsv1 or 2 cause there is nothing on the internet talking about hawaii preschools with herpes virus...does that mean hawaii preschools are without virus?
