Interesting, the Mohel does not come in contact with the baby utill the eigth day (Mogel Fischer did not perform briss on the baby that got herpes untill three weeks after the briss)
There are a lot of doctors, nurses and aids that have come in contact with the baby.
in my opinion, all of these people should be tested for herpes only after they are tested should the mohel be tested.
This was Fischers mistake, poeple in the ‘know’ have advised him to surrender and have himself tested. He should have fought it! since the baby was a three week old baby, all the nurses doctors and family member who had come in contact with the baby should first be investigated and tested and only afterwards should they test Fischer.
However, I still think that there should be a vaad that would consist of rabonim and doctors which would hand out certifications, I think that it is ridicoulos that anyone can call himself a Mohel.
