How Did I Get Herpes?
from:Genital herpes is an
infection of the genitals, buttocks, or anal area caused by
herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two types of HSV.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1
out of 5 American teenagers and adults is infected with
http://Herpes.eabout.info. Women are more commonly infected than
men. In the United States, 1 out of 4 women is infected with
HSV-2.
HSV type 1 most commonly
infects the mouth and lips, causing sores known as fever
important cause of sores to the genitals.
HSV type 2 is the usual cause of genital herpes, but it also can
infect the mouth.
How Did I get Herpes?
HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in and released from the sores
that the viruses cause, but they also are released between
outbreaks from skin that does not appear to be broken or to have
a sore. Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during
sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection.
Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not
have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is
infected.
HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes
infections of the mouth and lips, so-called "fever blisters."
HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or
genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection.
Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2
outbreaks.
Herpes Treatment
Although there is no cure for genital herpes, your health care
provider might prescribe an antiviral medicine to treat your
symptoms and to help prevent future outbreaks. This can decrease
the risk of passing herpes to sexual partners. Medicines to
treat genital herpes are:
1. Acyclovir (Zovirax)
2. Famciclovir (Famvir)
3. Valacyclovir (Valtrex)
In most people, the virus can become active and cause outbreaks
several times a year. This is called a recurrence, and infected
people can have symptoms. HSV remains in certain
for life. When the virus
is triggered to be active, it travels along the nerves to your
skin. There, it makes more virus and sometimes new sores near
the site of the first outbreak.
Recurrences are generally much milder than the first outbreak of
genital herpes. HSV-2
genital infection is more likely to result in recurrences than
HSV-1 genital infection. Recurrences become less common over
time.
