Herpes is a highly contagious, incurable sexually transmitted disease that has
already infected more than 30 million Americans and claims more than 200,000
victims each year. It was the leading STD before the AIDS virus came
into play. It is recorder at least 16% of all Americans over the age of
15 are infected with the virus. Yes a virus, Herpes simplex, that causes
periodic outbreaks of sores around the genitals. There are actually two
forms of the virus, type one causes cold sores around the mouth and type two
causes the infections around the genitals. Once the virus penetrates into
the body is makes itself a home in the nerve cells along the lower spinal cord
in a place called the sacral ganglia.
During a herpes outbreak, one will have flu-like symptoms, fever, muscle aches, and fatigue. Then recurrences are usually confined to the genital area as lesions or blisters that erupt and are often painful, and usually heal after a week. Usually, herpes lets the body know that a recurrence is about to happen, you may feel a numbness, tingling or itching sensation around the genitals where the sore is about to appear. Some general rules that apply to people with the herpes virus. The most common way to contract the virus is to come in direct contact with your partner during the active stage of the outbreak. So it is best to avoid this at all cost, to ensure that you don't give or get herpes to your partner. You don't have to give up sex all together, as long as you follow the rules and keep it safe. Condoms are another safe way of decreasing your chances of getting the virus, of course that the virus is on the penis itself. Since condoms block skin contact with your partner, it is the only way to safely keep from spreading the virus to your partner. Plus herpes can be transmitted even during periods where there are no visible symptoms, though not as contagious as a full outbreak, you are still contagious. So avoid touching the affected area all together, cause the virus can be transmitted on to the fingers and then what ever you touch, so if you accidentally touch an infected area thoroughly wash your hands. | |
