Patient's question:
What is Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1? Will a positive result affect fertility? If I had it before but didn't realize it and am now pregnant, what impact will it have on the fetus? My husband went to the hospital, but I haven't had any symptoms—should I also go for a check-up? I hope to get an answer soon. Thank you! Anxious AngelFirst follow-up question: (2007-4-10 8:35:00) The hospital confirmed it's Type 1, but the sores are on the genital area—what does this mean?
Doctor's answer:
Sexually transmitted, affects fetal health, easy to miscarriage, intellectual disability or malformation, etc.
