Risk factors Maternal risk factors for<unk>  HSV-1 include: White non-Hispanic race, young maternal age (<25), primary infection in third trimester, first pregnancy, HSV (1&2) seronegativity, a discordant partner, gestation <38 weeks, and receptive oral sex in the third trimester.<unk>  HSV-2 maternal risk factors: Black race, young maternal age (<21), a discordant partner, primary or non-primary first episode infection in the third trimester, four or more lifetime sexual partners, lower level of education, history of previous STD, history of pregnancy wastage, first viable pregnancy, and gestation <38 weeks. Transmission The majority of cases (85%) occur during birth when the baby comes in contact with infected genital secretions in the birth canal, most common with mothers that have newly been exposed to the virus (mothers that had the virus before pregnancy have a lower risk of transmission). An estimated 5% are infected in utero, and approximately 10% of cases are acquired postnatally. Detection and prevention is difficult because transmission is asymptomatic in 60–98% of cases. Post-natal transmission incidences can happen from a source other than the mother, such as an Orthodox Jewish mohel with<unk> ic gingivostomatitis who performs oral suction on a circumcision wound without using a prophylactic barrier to prevent contact between the baby's penis and the mohel's mouth.
