I wondered if anyone could answer a question a BF mom had about Herpes. It
seems she has a sore on a breast and on her vulva from having sexual
relations with her husband. Her husband had a sore in his mouth at the time!
She says they both do not have genital herpes.

I counseled her about covering up the sore, but she wanted to know if it
would come back on her breast and if she would, from now on, have genital
herpes. I gather that they are two different types of herpes viruses, and
that the genital one was type II while the other is type I, but I read that
some genital herpes are type one. What can I tell her? She is worried that
it will come back and infect her baby.
