i have a disease....does this mean my children will have it as well?

Neo-natal herpes is very rare. You got this disease before you have concieved so the chances of passing it to your children inutero is extremely rare. If your doctor knows of your genital herpes, you will most likely give birth through a cesarian section instead of a vaginal birth because contact with your sores (if you have any at the time of birth) will for sure give your new baby your disease. If you don't have an outbreak at the time of delivery then you can have a vaginal birth and the risk of passing it to the baby is less than one percent.As for your husband as long as he is extremely careful when he has his outbreaks around your child then he or she will be fine.

Genital herpes, in either parent, does not generally affect children and there is little risk of transmission so long as normal hygiene is practised.

Parents should be aware, however, that HSV can be transmitted from cold sores simply by kissing and can cause serious, widespread infection in the newborn. Fortunately, by the time a baby is around six months old, his or her immune system is better able to cope with exposure to the virus. Initial exposure to HSV in babies and young children, after being kissed by someone with a cold sore, can cause gingivostomatitis, an infection of the mouth and gums which goes largely unrecognized and untreated.

Children have open minds and believe everything. Adults can become hard hearted, closed minded, evil, judgmental and religiously separated. Now the simple truth is... heaven is everywhere,.. for all people are in heaven now and inside of God. Look at this through an open mind.

genital warts and herpes are different things - they are caused by different viruses ! genital wart are caused by HPV virus! HPV virus has more than ~130 different strains and ~40 of them causes genital warts and some of them cervical, anal, penile cancer too! so you should go to doctor every 6 months and do pap smear!!!

herpes is caused by HSV virus !

REMEMBER - HPV nad HSV virus is not genetic, it's usually passed by skin contact when the baby comes through the birth canal when the mother has an out break of genital warts or herpes. After that baby can have mouth or/and throat warts (if HPV is passed) or herpes all over his body (if HSV is passed)...

There are things that can be done to prevent genital warts and herps from being passed on when the mother gives birth. Such as having a c-section if there is an out break at the time of delivery. So if you do not have any outbreaks - then no need to do c-section!

anyway - if you have genital warts - you MUST get rid of them as soon as it is possible because genital warts are very contagious!!

and if you really want to get rid of genital warts forever then you should know that you can remove genital warts by surgery, freezing, laser, acid or cream but genital warts can reappear again and again because genital warts appears when your immune system is weak!

HPV is the virus that causes genital warts. People can be infected with HPV and never show any symptoms. Others will develop genital warts. These warts can stay the same size, grow, or go away on their own. It largely depends on the infected person's immune system. A healthy immune system means your body may be able to suppress the virus and not show symptoms.

Even after the warts go away, the person will always remain infected with HPV. That person can spread the virus even without showing symptoms.

so you must build up your immune system because your body can get rid of genital warts by itself if your immune system will be strong! so eat more healthy food, more vitamins and more sport activities! (No smoking, no beer/ale, no booze, no drugs, no junk food, no fast food garbage, no sugary sweet soda's. Get on a good, balanced, healthy diet including plenty of boiled or steamed vegetables.

Drink P L E N T Y O F W A T E R , fruit juices & fat free milk. Snack on lots of RAW fruit & veggies. Get up one hour early every morning & take a BRISK 30 minute walk - then - do the same thing again in the evening after dinner. Make sure you eat a good, balanced breakfast daily. You get your energy for the day from your breakfast meal. Get 8 hours sleep each night. Flip your mattress over so it will level out to give you a good night's rest. Slack off too much coffee & tea)

also you must use herbal treatment because you can not always live 100% healthy...!!!

in that case Wartrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of genital warts comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that they wont reappear again! It works by stimulating your immune system to fight the HPV virus that causes the warts + it helps to prevent cervical, penile, anal and etc cancer because HPV virus in 70% cases cause cancer!!!

and of course it is better if you use full course (5 months - if I remember correctly).

It worked very fast and still works for me because I do not have genital wart outbreaks anymore and my papsmear is still normal!!!

also my husband do not have any genital wart outbreaks too!

I do not know if any pharmacies carry Wartrol but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here

The advantage of Wartrol over other natural treatments for genital warts is that, since it is taken orally, it also acts on invisible and internal genital warts that CAN NOT BE treated by other creams and natural remedies.

good luck!

Your children will have a very small risk but most likely that won't. And chicken pox, cold sores, etc. are all a form of herpes. But you shouldn't be worried.
