Facts about CMV/HSV/Syphilis

About one out of every 200 babies is born with congenital CMV infection.

About 15% of babies with congenital CMV will not have signs at birth but will later develop hearing loss.

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.

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