The general rate in the U.S. of neonatal herpes simplex is 1 in 3,000 infants. The rate of neonatal herpes simplex, as counted by the NYC DOH, among babies who had MBP is NO HIGHER than the rate of the general populace.
Thus, we see that MBP carries no greater risk of herpes than a baby who does not have MBP or does not even have a Bris altogether!
