PBA -Because even if it was 1% of Mohelim who don’t have it -the parents have that right to know.
Right now the ball is in the Mohelim’s court -I’m just evening the play.
Not like Zdad, I don’t feel all HSV pos. have no right to practice Mila or MBP.
“How about just saying if you have open sores you shouldn’t do MBP that day? (You could just have the father do it.)”
This wouldn’t solve anything. Anyone who is HSV pos. (both 1 & 2) sheds virus all the time, even when asymptomatic. Although when they don’t have the actual cold sore they are less contagious, but not entirely Non-contagious. And unless the father is HSV -neg., then giving the job to the father makes zero difference.
We have to protect the rights of innocent babies, along with the rights of anyone who wants to practice Mila and MBP!
