Frequent handwashing is a key preventive measure for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, especially for pregnant women, as CMV can be spread through contact with bodily fluids of infected individuals. Immunization is not available for CMV, prenatal screening does not prevent infection (though it can identify it), and antibody titer screening helps identify previous exposure rather than prevent new infections.
