These might be very naive/uneducated questions, but I was wondering. Is it OK for a woman who has HPV can Herpes to breast feed her children? Also, I've heard about how if there is an outbreak at the time of labor, that a c-section will be recommened. But I've read that there could be viral shedding even if there are no visible signs. How is it determined if one is shedding? Some sort of test or something? What if the HPV is causing abnormal cells on the cervix at the time of labor...would that warrant a c-section.

Just trying to get more informed. Thanks for your help!
