This virus is caused by the herpes simplex virus
( type 2) and is usually transmitted to the victim while he or she is engaged in un-protected sex
with a partner who is already infected with the virus.
Note: The use of condoms, while statistically safer than unprotected sex,
is not 100% effective in stopping the transmission of STD's such herpes.
Only abstinence and/or sexual relations where both partner are totally monogamous (such as a faithful marriage union) is 100% safe.
Symptoms and Signs :
The incubation period for the virus is usually about a week, after which the virus produces itching, burning, soreness, and small blisters in the genital area.
The blisters burst to leave small, painful ulcers, which heal within 10 to 21 days.
The virus may cause lymph nodes in the groin area to become enlarged and painful. Other symptoms during an outbreak may include headache and fever. Women with genital herpes may find urination very painful if the urine comes in contact with the sores.
Herpes sores appearing around the mouth area are usually Herpes Type1 (Cold Sores); however it is possible for the Herpes Type 2 virus to be transmitted to the mouth area during oral sex with an infected partner. |
Conditions Sometimes Confused with Herpes :
Canker sores are usually found inside the mouth and are gray with a distinct edge. They usually heal within a week or two without any kind of treatment.
Impetigo is a highly contagious bacterial infection that can produce crusty blisters. Impetigo is more common in children than adults.
Molluscum is a viral infection of the skin that produces lesions that are raised,
with a central dimple. The herpes virus lesions do not have a central dimple.
Yeast or Bacterial Infections can sometimes be confused with herpes because
of the pain and itch that may be involved. However, these type of infections usually do not produce any blistering.
Syphilis is another sexually transmitted disease that causes chancres that may be
confused with herpes. However, Syphilis chancres are usually not found in clusters
as Herpes blisters are, and Syphilis, unlike Herpes, usually responds to antibiotics.
