Facts about CMV/HSV/Syphilis

CMV testing should be done within 2-3 weeks of birth to determine if it is congenital.

Five tips to help prevent CMV: do not share food/utensils/drinks, do not put a pacifier in your mouth, avoid contact with saliva when kissing a child, do not share a toothbrush, wash your hands.

About 10% of babies with congenital CMV have signs, such as jaundice, rash, microcephaly, or low weight, at birth.

HSV and syphilis cost the healthcare system almost $300 million dollars annually.
