I m a herpes infected unmarried male. can i have my own baby without this infect!
Question: Yes, you can have a child. Even if your wife has herpes the child is not at risk. The risk is 1% chance of the the child getting herpes. A doctor will examine your wife for any kind of lesion and if none is found then vaginal birth is even safe. The only way that the child would get the disease is if there were a lesion during birth that the child came in contact with or if the first outbreak occurred within the 1st trimester for the mother. A new infection in a pregnant female is especially risky to the unborn child.
If the mother had already been infected for some time then her body has antibodies that combats the disease and the placenta uses the antibodies along with other disease fighting white blood cells to protect the child.
The placenta acts as an awesome barrier for protecting the child from disease.
Hope this helps....
Good luck on your marriage and many blessing!

Yes you can. The woman who you have a child with, if she also has herpes, she could spread it to the baby. Some babies are delivered cesearian to avoid this happening if the doctor thinks it necessary. Herpes doesnt transfer like AIDS can to unborn babies.
I've had 4 healthy beautiful UNinfected children in the past 20 years
IF your wife contracts herpes - it will be best that she has c-sections...in order to not pass it along to your children..
But there is NO WAY you can give it to a baby - unless you're doing immoral disgusting things (which I don't think have crossed your mind)
