Hello,
A positive torch test is of course harmful and it can also be the cause of congenital anomalies.
I think you may need to do morphology ultrasound to check foetus since you are at the right age of pregnancy to do so. If anomalies are found medical abortion may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
