No. Since herpes is spread from active skin infection and not from latent infection, a newborn baby can be infected with herpes only if they are born while the virus is active. Neonatal herpes generally occurs if the baby's skin becomes infected during the birth process.

Hello- herpes cannot impact biological fertility levels however, in the case of an outbreak, it is recommended that those experiencing herpes abstain from sexual intercourse. If you have herpes, you may need to delay efforts at conception, but once the outbreak passes, you can engage in normal sexual activity.
