Facts about CMV/HSV/Syphilis

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.

Young children are a common source of CMV. By the age of 5 years, 1 in 3 children has been infected with CMV but usually does not have symptoms.

CMV infects between 60% and 70% of adults in industrialized countries and nearly 100% in emerging countries.
