Oral herpes, an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus, is estimated to be present in 50 to 80 percent of the American adult population. 20 percent, over 50 million people, are infected with genital herpes, also caused by the herpes simplex virus, and the majority of these cases may be unaware they even have it. Studies show that more than 500,000 Americans are diagnosed with genital herpes each year, and the largest increase is occurring in young teens. |

People with herpes may spread the disease even if they do not realize they have an infection. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that people with herpes can transmit infection even while their disease appears to be inactive and no sores can be seen . FACTS ABOUT GENITAL HERPES:Transmission is caused by close oral, anal, or genital contact, including intercourse, masturbation, kissing, or any direct skin-to-skin contact which allows for the transfer of bodily fluids. A person is considered contagious when prodromal symptoms, active sores, and healing lesions are present. Herpes is potentially contagious when no symptoms are present. That is, a person who has genital herpes is potentially always shedding active virus. Approximately 1 in 6 members of the general infected population is thought to shed active virus occasionally without symptoms. Some people do not get typical blister-like sores but harbor active virus in their saliva, vaginal, or penile secretions, and can shed the virus without knowing they have herpes. Lesions can occur deep inside the vagina where they cannot be seen or felt, but can readily transmit the virus. An uninfected individual has about a 75% chance of contracting herpes during intimate contact with someone actively shedding virus. Oral herpes can be transmitted to the genitals, and vice versa. Symptoms are similar. Auto-inoculation:
An infected individual can spread the virus to other parts of his or her body by touching an area shedding virus and then touching, scratching, or rubbing another susceptible part of the body. Towels are especially conducive to this.
It is possible for a person to contract genital herpes if the partner with oral herpes performs oral sex.
Oral herpes can be transmitted to the genitals, and vice versa. Symptoms are similar. Environmental surfaces like toilet seats may be a source of contagion, but there is no evidence that this poses a real threat to the general population. Experts differ as to how long the virus can survive on its own. The primary cause of infection remains intimate contact.
Remember... You are not alone. Herpes is estimated to affect some 80 million people in America. At least one in five adults in the United States has genital herpes. Table of Content 2. What is herpes of lips (oral herpes)? 4. How can I get genital herpes? 7. Healing herpes with Valtrex The herpes simplex virus (HSV) is most often transmitted from one person to another through sexual contact. However, genital herpes can be spread to someone without sexual penetration.
For Men
In men, genital herpes can usually appear as bumps,
blisters, sores, or cuts on the foreskin or shaft of
the penis or in the pubic area, or on the tip of the
penis. If you are having an outbreak, avoid
skin-to-skin contact between the affected areas and
your partner. Remember, a condom does not prevent
the spread of genital herpes, especially if symptoms
occur in an area not covered by the condom.
For Women
In women, genital herpes
usually appears on the external genitals, most
commonly on the lips of the vagina (labia), and in
the area covered by pubic hair. Genital herpes
symptoms may also occur inside the vagina or on the
cervix, and may not be noticed by either partner.
Genital herpes may appear to be bumps, blisters,
sores, cuts or redness.
What is herpes of lips (oral herpes)? Herpes of lips is an infectious disease caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV). This virus exists in inactive dormant state in the neurons innervating the lips and surrounding their skin.
When does this disease arise?
What promotes reactivation of a
virus? Genital herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the world. It results from the infection with herpes simplex virus, commonly with herpes simplex virus type 2, occasionally with type 1. The infection is life-long, and after the initial episode, recurrences can appear any time. The virus is able to elicit a number of pathological conditions; however the recurrent clinical outbreaks of genital herpes most often cause not only physical but also psychosocial problems. Genital herpes is a contagious viral infection affecting primarily the genitals of men and women. It is characterized by recurrent clusters of vesicles and lesions at the genital areas. It is caused by the Herpes Simplex-2 virus (HSV-2), one of several strains of the Herpes Simplex Virus responsible for chickenpox, shingles, mononucleosis, and oral herpes (fever blisters or cold sores, HSV-1). While generally not dangerous, it is a nuisance and can be emotionally traumatic, as there is no cure. It has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S.; 500,000 are diagnosed each year. One in five American adults has herpes, but only one third of those inflicted are aware that they have the virus. Many people don't relate their symptoms to herpes, since they have either very mild or no symptoms at all. Over 50 million cases are currently estimated to exist in either the active or dormant stage. Herpes is a virus that can be passed through sexual contact. You can get genital herpes by having sex with someone who has open sores and when someone has no sores. However, herpes is most contagious when a person has open sores. People with herpes should not have sexual activity when sores or other symptoms of herpes are present. HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips or fever blisters. Condoms can lower the chances of getting herpes. Along with condoms, Valtrex ®, a drug used to treat herpes, can help lower the chances of passing the virus during vaginal sex. The infection is usually acquired by sexual contact with someone who has symptoms of genital herpes. People with oral herpes can transmit the infection to the genital area of a partner during oral-genital sex and result in symptoms of genital herpes. A person who is infected with HSV but has no noticeable symptoms of genital herpes can also transmit herpes infections. Such asymptomatic shedding of the virus may be fairly common, occurring from 5 percent to 20 percent of the time in infected individuals. Symptoms of genital herpes in a primary episode vary widely from person to person. They usually occur within two to 10 days of exposure. Typically the symptoms associated with genital herpes that are recognizable involve small red bumps that may develop into blisters and open lesions. These bumps appear at the site of infection, which may be in or around the vaginal area, the cervix, the penis, urinary tract of both men and women, and around the anal opening, buttocks or thighs. Sores also may appear on other parts of the body where broken skin has come into contact with HSV. Over a period of days, the sores become encrusted and then heal without scarring. Symptoms associated with genital herpes in a primary outbreak tend to take longer to heal because the body has yet to build up an immune system resistance to the viral outbreaks. Other herpes symptoms in a primary episode may include fever, headache, muscle aches, and swollen glands in the groin area, painful urination or vaginal discharge. Some of the most common symptoms of genital herpes that are often misdiagnosed are misdiagnosed as yeast infection, insect bites, jock itch, urinary tract infections, abrasions or razor burn, ingrown hair follicles, and even hemorrhoids. If you suffer from recurring infections or symptoms of any of the listed conditions, it is advised to see a medical professional for observance and testing when symptoms occur. It is quite possible the recurrence of such conditions could actually be symptoms of genital herpes. The virus can infect other parts of the body. To reduce the risk of spread of infection, follow our advice:
Valtrex is the only medication proven to reduce the risk of spreading genital herpes to a partner.
