A pregnant woman infected with CMV can pass the virus to her baby during pregnancy. Approximately one in every 200 babies is born with congenital CMV infection. However, only about one in five babies with congenital CMV infection will get sick from the virus or have long-term health problems.
CMV is transmitted from an infected person to another through body fluids, such as saliva, urine, blood, vaginal fluid and semen. Infants and children are more likely to shed CMV in saliva and urine compared to older children and adults they are. Women may be able to reduce the risk of CMV by reducing contact with saliva and urine of infants and children. Some ways to do this is by not sharing food and utensils with babies and children, and wash their hands after changing a diaper. It can not eliminate your risk of getting CMV disease, but it can reduce your chances of getting it.
