Herpes transmission in houseold

Found out that I had herpes antibodys in blood test two months because I was getting herpes 2 symtoms. They seem to be ongoing doc won't do exact test unless their are blisters which I don't have at this time. I've tried to be extremely careful around my kids but didn't realize I had this for about a month and half . Went for full STD testing and all was ok except they don't test for herpes either so I didn't know at the time that's what I had. I'm now freaking out because my kids all seem to be coming down with same symtoms , such as pain in lower back, sore throat ,feeling tired all the time, hard to wake up,irritable ,just not themselfs. Hoping its was just the flu bug but there symtoms dont seem to be going away. Every for the past 2 months something else seems to come up. we live in a rural area with unchlorinated water so I'm wondering if they possibly got it from the bathtub or something since I didn't know I had it I wasn't sanitizing after a bath and we also washed our laundry together as most families do . Does anyone think I may of passed it on to them. Thanks

these are not herpes symptoms. if your regular provider is stumped as to what is going on, a dermatologist is your next step.
