Herpes

If you have Herpes and don't know the facts you could be missing out on a lot of things like treatments and ways of dealing with having the virus mentally.

Well first let's get down to what Herpes is it's a virus that you get from having intercourse with an infected person or by kissing an infected person, while there herpes is having a flare up. There are two different types of herpes. Type one will appears on your lips. Type two affects your genital area. If you have type one you will get cold sores on the mouth. If you have type two you will have bums in your genital area.

Some of the herpes symptoms will not show up for about twenty days after having the virus. The first outbreak can either be mild or horrible, depending on the person. After the outbreak hits it will last for two weeks for men and three for women. The symptoms include Headaches, Fever, lower back pain, muscle aches, and swollen lymph glands in the groin. Women can have additional symptoms like vaginal discharges and pain or a burning sensation when urination occurs.

Outbreaks of this virus are caused by people who have mild symptoms who don't know that they have the virus. They have sex or touch the genital areas with someone and that person gets it and even if that person does have violent symptoms of the virus, later they will not show up for at least twenty days so that person could very well pass it to the next easily without knowing what they carry. Also it has been shown that some people don't even show symptoms sometimes so they never know unless they get a pap smear that is the only way to find out for people who have no symptoms so there could be a lot of people spreading it that have no idea.

There are treatments for this STD but, for everyone treated, there will be about 80% of people having recurring symptoms. These symptoms are not as bad as the first outbreak. There are a lot of medical treatments for this virus but one of the best is Medavir. This medication helps a lot of people live outbreak free. There are also medicated wipes and pills you can take to prevent outbreaks. You can also talk to your doctor about what medication you should take there are a lot to choose from so there are no wrong or right answers in this field.

So how can we prevent from spreading this virus? Well people should start getting checked. Getting checked is just one way for infected people to do their part. Some could not have so many sexual partners in such a short period of time. This would probably help lower the infection rate at least by 20%.
