I m 6 weeks pregnant and having a reactivation of genital herpes. The current infection is very mild like the others, only 1 lesion. I ve had genital herpes for ~10 years and rarely get a reactivation and don t have an antiviral at home. Should I be worried about the fetus right now and should I get treated during pregnancy? (I understand the implications for delivery and will be on an antiviral in my 3rd trimester.)
Yes, you should absolutely get it treated in pregnancy. When we see it at the hospital where I work, we always treat it with a round of antivirals. It doesn't matter how far along you are. Good luck!
