I find this fascinating. Never heard the claim before that lip herpes grants immunity to genital outbreaks.

Also, whats source of such common early childhood herpes in Russia? Kissing from infected relatives? Given lethality of neonatal herpes it seems unlikely to be interuterine transmission.

I've heard that claim, and I have subsequently heard it disproven.
