Hi

I would like to know how does someone who's down with herpetic whitlow or herpes on palms or hands take care of newborns without the risk of infecting them.

Thanks

I think you'd have to wear disposable gloves. I can't think of another way to be sure you don't infect them--and it is so dangerous for them.
