The National CMV Foundation operates in the wellness and fitness services space with a mission to educate the public about prevention strategies for CMV infection. It highlights that congenital CMV is the most common viral infection babies are born with in the United States, affecting about 1 in 150 births, and that the virus often presents no symptoms in mothers during pregnancy. The organization notes that most childbearing-age women have not been exposed to CMV, and that a primary infection during pregnancy can carry a substantial risk of transmitting the virus to the fetus. Its core aim is to empower women to actively manage their health and questions during pregnancy to reduce the likelihood of congenital CMV. Based in Tampa, Florida, it is a small nonprofit that concentrates on awareness-building and provision of prevention resources. The organization operates within the wellness landscape, emphasizing education and advocacy rather than clinical services.
