DY -“Do we know for a fact that an open sore causes the transmission of HSV? Maybe we do; I don’t know, I’m merely asking.”
Well I answered previously -you don’t even have to research it yourself, even though it wouldn’t be too hard considering you’re on the net, -I brought you the answer already.
They have proven time and again -the HSV virus is transmitted by direct contact to s/o’s mouth even if they don’t have any sores at the time. What I don’t understand -well actually I do -I posted this before -the Frum community since they lack in education -all of a sudden when it comes to Milah with MBP -they can’t believe it could transmit disease.
The question the Frum community should be asking is why we aren’t forcing every Mohel to be tested for HSV? And even if positive they can take medications if they want to remain a Mohel that does MBP!
