Absolutely. Anyone can contract herpes, whether it's simplex one or two. Herpes simplex 1 is commonly recognized by noticeable scabs that appear around the lips, known as fever blisters. This strain is spread by direct contact with a person with open sores on their mouth (kissing, sharing drinks, touching sores, then mouth). Genital herpes can be passed to children during birth, if the mother has an outbreak and the baby passes through the birth canal.

Can your wife have kids with out the child getting herpes?

Yes. Herpes is spread only when the virus is actively shedding, which is commonly seen in symptomatic patients. Herpes is spread by skin contact and thus is usually not transmitted to the child in utero because of this, however there is a small risk of spread during vaginal delivery as the child's body comes into contact with the mothers genitalia. Several studies have shown that the percentage of babies who acquire neonatal herpes from mothers who have no active lesions at delivery is exceedingly small. For preventive measures in women who are symptomatic with herpes infection during pregnancy, antiviral drugs like acyclovir can be given after 36 weeks of gestation to limit viral production and risk of transmission. Cesarean delivery can also prevent vertical transmission of herpes to the child during birth in women with active genital lesions.
