Thankfully, he tested negative for the virus. I actually did not have breakouts
during my
pregnancy (they had decreased in number considerably as I entered adulthood), but after he was born/while I was breastfeeding, I was having outbreaks practically one on top of the other (likely exacerbated by some dental work I had done, along with hormonal fluctuations, stress, and lack of sleep).
Anyhow, at the prompting of several doctors who cared for my son, I went on the suppressive therapy.
