My wife is pregnant (15 weeks) and she was diagonised having HSV I and HSV II. We are wondering how might either of us get this disease? Her father has that disease (having visible blisters in his mouth and lips). Is that she got it from her father HSV I and then HSV I caused HSV II? Because both of us are sure not having that through sexual intercourse, neither of us have any sex history before our marriage. Then, the only possible option would be she received HSV from her father (may be through skin-to-skin contact), becuase HSV is a contagious disease. Would you please explain whether our hypothesis is right?
Thank you
