I was told by a doctor I had it over four years ago, because although she wasn't sure what it was, she didn't know what else it could be. I recently had a blood test that proved that it is less than .09% likely that I have any version of herpes. Just wondering how often this may occur...
Titan: I am more than aware what herpes is, I thought I had it for four years and have done my research. Most people have HSV 1 (cold sores) but the test proves that I don't even have that
sktodd: Thanks for the input, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Do you know where I can get some stats about that or why it is so common??

Herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in America, so it is important for us to have an understanding of the condition so that we can take the proper measures to prevent it, or treat it if we already have contracted it.

There are two types of herpes, caused by two different herpes simplex viruses: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both types of herpes can infect either the oral or genital area, or sometimes, both. The infection causes signs and symptoms that may come and go. There is no cure for herpes, but the symptoms can be treated and relieved with certain medications and treatments.

When the herpes infection is on or around the mouth, it is called oral herpes. Oral herpes causes sores on the mouth or lips called "fever blisters" or "cold sores." Oral herpes is usually caused by the type 1 of the virus.

When a herpes infection is on or near the genitals, it is called genital herpes. Genital herpes is usually caused by type 2 of the herpes virus. However, in recent years, it is more and more common to find occurrences of type 1 in the genitals, as oral sex is becoming a more popular practice.

You get genital herpes through direct skin-to-skin contact, usually during vaginal or anal sex. The herpes virus is most contagious when herpes sores are open, but herpes can be spread even when there are no sores present and no signs of an infection. If someone with oral herpes gives oral sex to his or her partner, the partner can develop genital herpes. In this way, some cases of genital herpes are caused by HSV-1, instead of the usual transmission by genital-to-genital contact.

Contrary to some myths, the only way to spread genital herpes is through skin contact. You can't get genital herpes from swimming pools, towels or toilet seats.

The first outbreak's symptoms are usually more severe than subsequent outbreaks of herpes. When the initial outbreak is over, the herpes virus becomes inactive and does not cause symptoms. This period is called dormant infection. At any time after this, the virus can reactivate and cause sores again.

Once you have contracted herpes, you have it for life, and may experience repeated flare-ups called a "recurrences" or "outbreaks." Each person has his or her own unique pattern of recurrences. Genital herpes caused by type 2 of the virus is much more likely to cause frequent recurrences than genital herpes caused by type 1. The frequency, duration and severity of outbreaks can be greatly reduced with herbal treatments.

During genital herpes outbreaks, people may experience the following:

* discomfort or pain around the genitals, legs or buttocks

* swollen lymph nodes in the groin area

* burning or itching while urinating

* difficulty urinating or constipation

* fever, chills, headaches, body aches or other flu-like symptoms

Keep in mind though, for many individuals, no symptoms are experienced. So, if you think you've been exposed to the herpes virus, the best way to find out for sure is to be tested.

Even though a person may not know the exact cause of an outbreak, he or she may sense that an outbreak is coming. These signs can include tingling, itching, numbness or tenderness where the sores will appear. There can be pain near the buttocks, back of legs or lower back. These may start a few hours to a day before the sores actually appear on the skin.

Sores can re-appear anywhere on or near the genitals, often at the same place as they initially appeared.

Luckily, there have been many advancements to assist individuals who suffer from genital herpes, especially in the way of herbal treatments. There are many compounds found in nature that aid in the reduction of herpes outbreaks, frequency and duration. Not affiliated with big pharmaceutical companies, these natural remedies are typically affordable and easily accessible.

I am referring to genital herpes, it is also HSV-1

Johnathan asked:


 

Genital herpes is a rapidly growing sexually transmitted disease. An estimated 25 percent of American adults are infected with genital herpes, that’s at least 45 million people, ages 12 and older. Out of those 45 million, 80 percent are unaware that they have it.

How do people get genital herpes?

Genital herpes is an STD caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2), although most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. HSV-1 and HSV-2 is found in and can be released from the sores that the viruses cause. Although transmitting herpes is more common during an outbreak, it is still possible to transmit the infection when no sores are present. HSV-1 can also cause genital herpes, but more commonly causes mouth infections called cold sores or fever blisters.

What are the signs and symptoms of genital herpes?

80 percent of individuals who are infected with genital herpes are unaware that they have it. The first outbreak of herpes can be quite extreme and usually occurs within two weeks after the virus is transmitted. The sores typically heal within two to four weeks, but can be accompanied by flu-like symptoms. Because the signs and symptoms can greatly vary from person to person, it’s important to make a visit to your health care provider for proper diagnosis.

What are the side effects of genital herpes?

Genital herpes can cause recurrent painful sores, especially in people with weak immune systems. Although it is rare, genital herpes can lead to fatal infections in babies if the mother contracts herpes during late pregnancy. If a woman has an outbreak at the time of delivery, a cesarean delivery is usually performed.

Is there a treatment for herpes?

There is currently no treatment that can cure herpes, but there are medications that can be taken to shorten and prevent outbreaks while the person is taking the medication. There are also medications that can be taken to reduce the possibility of transmission to partners.

How can herpes be prevented?

The best way to avoid getting any sexually transmitted disease, including genital herpes, is to abstain from sexual contact with anyone who has not been tested for STDs. Another option is to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected. Although condoms aren’t 100% effective, correct and consistent use of condoms can reduce the risk of transmitting genital herpes. If you have been diagnosed with herpes, it’s crucial to abstain from sexual activity with uninfected people. Although it is less likely for herpes to be transmitted when there isn’t a visual outbreak, it isn’t impossible. Always inform your partner if you’ve been infected with an STD, or limit your dating to other singles with herpes.



Stop Herpes Now and From Coming Back for Good!

bcured asked:


The word herpes evokes an emotional response from almost everyone. Eighty percent of the world's population has serological evidence of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1, generally orolabial herpes), while 20 to 30 percent of the U.S. population is seropositive for the herpes virus type 2 (HSV-2, generally genital herpes).

Add chickenpox, shingles, the immunosuppressant drugs used by cancer and organ-transplant patients, along with the increasing number of immunosuppressed patients who have HIV and AIDS, and it's not hard to understand why we are now seeing a greater incidence of herpes infections.

HSV1 and HSV2-the culprits of oral and genital herpes

Oral Herpes

Oral herpes affects areas of the mouth and face. Herpes type 1 (HSV1) is the most common cause of oral herpes. However herpes type 2 (HSV2) can also cause oral herpes infections. In other words, either HSV1 or HSV2 may be responsible for oral herpes.

Recurring symptoms or outbreaks may develop as soon as 5 to 10 days after the initial infection. Symptoms include painful blisters around the mouth, often accompanied by a cold or fever, hence the term “cold” sores or “fever” blisters. Immunity plays a key role in outbreaks. When the system is stressed or the immune system is weakened, the virus travels down the ganglia and resurfaces on the skin, causing an outbreak.

Genital Herpes

For reasons unknown, HSV2 seems to gravitate towards the genital tract and is therefore the most common cause of genital herpes. However, HSV1 can also manifest in the genital region and cause genital herpes. So, once again, either HSV1 or HSV2 can cause genital herpes.

When the virus erupts on the surface of the skin, causing an outbreak, typical symptoms are inflamed blisters or ulcers. As the infection is caused by the either HSV1 or HSV2, lesions resemble cold sores. The first outbreak commonly reveals its aggravating presence 4 to 7 days after the initial infection of HSV.

In females, outbreaks occur on or near the vulva, labia, clitoris, pubis, or anus. In males, herpes lesions can appear anywhere on the penis, scrotum, or around the anus. Outbreaks are commonly accompanied by pain, itching, or burning. Some experience enlarged lymph nodes, muscle pain, and fatigue.

Some experience prodrome before an outbreak. This is a tingling, itching, or painful sensation experienced prior to an outbreak. Prodrome symptoms may be experienced for several days or for a few hours. Use of an antiviral treatment (oral or topical) during prodrome is known to reduce the duration of an outbreak, and it may even abort the outbreak for some individuals.

Unfortunately, there is no known “cure” for herpes. Use of a condom is recognized to be the most reliable method to prevent transmission of the virus. However, effective treatments are available which can reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks, stop viral reproduction, and reduce viral load, all of which greatly mitigate outbreaks and allow sufferers to control the condition.

Depending on what study you wish to believe, well over 90% of the US population will test positive for having either HSV1 or HSV2.

Acyclovir is the most popular drug prescribed for herpes. However, the emergence of aciclovir-resistant virus strains has created the need for the development of new effective antiviral agents.

New anti-herpetic chemical drug compounds have been identified, but they have significant adverse effects when consumed and HSV has again developed drug resistance to these new compounds.

As new chemical drug options are not viable, alternative antiviral options are being investigated with great interest. Recent scientific studies of medicinal antiviral plant extracts show very encouraging results, and have sparked a new methodology for treating herpes.

Studies of these antiviral extracts demonstrate that many of these compounds exhibit significant anti-herpetic activity. Several actually inactivate HSV with great effectiveness. These antiviral extracts represent new effective treatment options for therapeutic use as virucidal agents for recurring herpes infections.

Muna wa Wanjiru asked:


Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus, and there are two distinctly different types of this herpes simplex virus. These are, originally enough, called Type 1 and Type 2, or HSV 1 and HSV 2. If a person has genital herpes symptoms, it will usually show up within the first few weeks of infection.

Otherwise some people might not display any genital herpes symptoms at all. And some people will not even notice if they have genital herpes as the genital herpes symptoms can be very mild to non-existent.

In fact some people can mistake genital herpes symptoms for something as mild as a skin rash. This also depends on whether you have type 1 genital herpes, or type 2 genital herpes.

Type 1 genital herpes symptoms are generally to be found in the mouth or the nose area, whereas the type 2 genital herpes symptoms are more likely to occur in the genital area.

This does not mean however that either type of genital herpes is specific to any particular area. These are just the more common places where the different types will display genital herpes symptoms.

Genital herpes symptoms can last for several weeks, so if you are sexually active you should try to abstain from having sexual relations from the time that you first notice genital herpes symptoms, to the time when they have all cleared up. Sexual relations in this case refers not only to vaginal sex, but also to anal sex as well as oral sex.

Genital herpes symptoms can include, sores, blisters, an itching sensation and sometimes even a burning sensation, and pain when urinating. Some people will also feel feverish, experience backache, muscle aches, or headaches. Yet still other people will get genital herpes symptoms which include swollen glands, and in some cases vaginal discharge.

Genital herpes symptoms of blisters and sores can become very painful at times. To relieve this pain, and also to help in drying the sores out faster, some people use a bath comprising of 1 teaspoon of salt mixed with 1 pint of warm water.

You will need to gently bathe or pat the area with this solution to find some relief. You can also try using an ice pack on this area if you think that it might help to lessen the pain from your genital herpes symptoms.

Treatment options for genital herpes symptoms include the use of antiviral medications, or natural and home remedies. There is no cure for the genital herpes virus, although the genital herpes symptoms can be cleared up with proper care and attention.
