Hello,

Please don't worry, if you don't have outbrakes during this period there exist a low to no risk to infect your child.

The nose bleedings has no relation with hsv2.

In the event of possible infection from HSV 2, you should look out for outbreaks (lips or mouth sores in your child).

Hope I have answered your query.
