Thanks for you care and concern. For your information, let me say something about herpes. It is caused by a virus called Herpes Simplex Virus. It is of two types- type1 and type 2. Of these, type 1 causes infection in mouth and is transmitted through saliva. The second type, type 2 is know to cause genital herpes. Fortunately, HSV type 2 virus cannot live long in non-living conditions. It makes your baby safe and there is relatively no risk in getting her affected with genital herpes. Be careful while taking care of your child. Wash hands before touching or changing sanitizer pad of your child. Take care.
