Ans.2.if a woman with genital herpes has virus present in the birth canal during delivery, herpes simplex virus can be spread to an infant, causing neonatal herprs, a serious and sometime fatal condition.neonatal herpes can cause an overwhelming infection resulting in lasting damage to the central nervous system, mental retardation, or death.medication,if given early, may help prevent or reduce lasting damage,but even with antiviral medication, this infection has serious consequences for most infected infants.
