Rationale: If a client has an active lesion, either recurrent or primary at the time of labor, delivery should be by cesarean. Clients are advised to abstain from sexual contact while the lesions are present. If it is an initial infection, the client should continue to abstain from sexual intercourse until the cultures are negative because prolonged viral shedding may occur. Douches are contraindicated, and the genital area should be kept clean and dry to promote healing.
