The awareness month is designed to raise support and awareness of Cytomegalovirus.

Cytomegalovirus, commonly referred to as CMV, is a member of the herpesvirus family. It is common and typically harmless to the general population; however, once CMV is in a person’s body, it stays there for life. It is important to note that the CMV virus can cause serious problems for people with weak immune systems due to organ transplants, HIV/AIDS infection, chemotherapy, and specific medications.

“1 in 150 children are born with congenital CMV each year.”
