Herpes infects a huge number of people all over the world. Millions of people carry HSV-2 (Herpes Simplex Virus}, the strain chiefly causing genital herpes. Many of these people are unaware that they are contagious. The virus is said to be hard to prevent mainly due to the lack of information on it. Defining herpes Herpes is a virus with no vaccine and no cure. The virus penetrates into the skin cells and multiplies there, finally bringing on skin irritation, redness and sores. Once this outbreak subsides, herpes travels from the nerve cells to the spinal cord, where it remains until another outbreak. In spite of this, it is possible to live a normal life with herpes, including an active intimate life and childbirth. What does an outbreak look like? Herpes lesions are small-sized sores or blisters that occur separately or in groups. They range from mildly to extremely painful and itch, burn or feel like cuts. As it travels along nerve cells, herpes commonly recurs nearby the site of initial contagion. Outbreaks can last from a few days to several weeks. The first outbreak commonly occurs within 2-21 days of infection. Severity and duration typically diminish with recurrences, as soon as the body has developed a defense of antibodies. Sores do not commonly leave scars, unless become infected with bacteria. Outbreaks can be coupled with flu-like symptoms, including general uneasiness, bad headaches, fever, tiredness or swollen lymph nodes. Yet, some people experience few or no symptoms, which is one reason why HSV-2 is so widespread. An outbreak can also occur within the vagina or on the cervix, testicles or scrotum, where it may remain unnoticed. How can one be infected? The virus is usually transmitted where skin touches the virus at a sore location. It can also be transmitted through saliva mixed with the virus or by touching a lesion and then touching another skin area. Genital herpes is primarily transmitted by close contact, like intimate touching or oral, genital or anal sex. If you requrie further information about herpes, please visit antiherpes.net.
