Herpes

Herpes is generally used to describe a sexually transmitted disease that is carried by a double-stranded DNA virus, the herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2. This virus can cause both oral and genital herpes. When viewed on a microscope, these two viruses look identical.

• The type 1 virus commonly occurs above the waist

The type 2 virus is below the waist

Oral herpes appear as cold sores while genital herpes appear as genital sores. This virus has affected a very large population in America . It is reported that 80 million people have it in America . This equates to 1 in 5 adults in the US

Genital Herpes

There are eight types of human herpes viruses and all have the skill to be inside the body without showing symptoms. Genital herpes is usually caused by the type 2 virus (HSV-2) - often when a person gets infected with the virus, there is minimal or even no symptoms at all
Those who exhibit symptoms typically have blisters on or around the rectum and genital area. These blisters usually break and create tender ulcers which can take 2 to 4 weeks to cure the first time it occurs. A second outbreak can occur a week or months following the first, but this is less serious and the span is shorter than the first. The infection will stay in the body of the person forever but the number of times it can recur will also decrease over the years.

More Woman Have Genital Herpes

Genital herpes is an infection which is more common amongst women (one of four) compared to men (one of five). This is due to a male to female mode of transmission.

Herpes can originate from the sores caused by the virus, but it may also come from skin outbreaks that do not appear broken or having a sore. Usually, a person who has genital herpes can infect their sexual partner during sex. The virus can be transmitted from an infected person who has no visible sores and who does not even know that they are infected.
The type 1 herpes virus can also cause genital herpes but it is the more common cause of mouth and lips infection or what is called fever blisters. The type 1 herpes virus that infects the genitalia might be caused by oral to genital or genital to genital contact with a person who is infected of the type 1 virus (HSV-1).

How Herpes Is Transmitted

Genital herpes spreads by having sex, and this includes oral sex. Herpes can also be distributed throughout the body like from the genitalia it can spread to the eyes, fingers or some other body parts. It can also be transmitted from mother to a baby at childbirth.
