Closed Raise awareness of the dangers of the HSV1 Virus

Closed on

To raise awareness of how dangerous the herpes simplex virus can be to new born and young babies. There have been many deaths in the past year of babies who have been kissed by someone with a cold sore. All these deaths could have been prevented if people were more aware of the dangers. We should provide the facts in leaflets to expectant parents and posters in maternity wards too.
