Direct guidance
What to know or do
Use barriers when STI exposure is possible and avoid contact with an active cold sore or genital lesion. Follow any individualized pelvic-rest or infection advice from your clinician.
What changes the answer

- Any individual restriction or treatment plan from maternity care
General guidance
When to get individual help
