Herpes and having kids
Hi, my partner has genital herpes and I am disease-free. We are in a serious relationship and would like to get married. How can we reduce the risk of infection if we want to have kids? We’ve been using condoms all this while.

Hi, thank you for reaching out to us.
We understand your concern regarding your partner. Based on your inquiry, it is best for both of you to consult and discuss with a doctor as both of you need to be screened and examined thoroughly. Other than that, you may also get a pre-conception counselling from the doctor you are seeing.
To reduce the risk of infection during pregnancy, it is treated using antiviral medication which needs prescription by a doctor.
