I have been informed I have HSV2 and am now concerned about my children ages 2 and 4. My children shower with me sometimes and I kiss them, like most mothers. I have been in a relationship for 8 years and never tested positive until now so I am aware that sometime since the last STD panel I contracted the virus. My concern is I may have gotten it from my brother-in-law whom lives with us and has poor hygiene skills. He goes a month plus without showering and I know that is gross especially with the virus and possibility of asymptomatic shedding. If I contracted the virus from him, could my children and the other people in our home have gotten it as well? Also, would I be able to have my children tested? How would I inform the school so they are able to make the other parents aware of the situation or should I keep quiet and hope for the best? I am so lost on how to approach this situation and I fear for my children as they grow up and become intimate with others. What do I do from here?
