Genital herpes affects nearly one-fifth of the population of the United States. While not deadly, this sexually-transmitted disease can lead to some significant health complications and can have a very negative impact on the quality of life for those infected with the illness. Herpes is incurable, but there are a variety of treatments that can make the disease more bearable, and reduce the chance that infected persons may spread it to others.
Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus, which comes in two varieties, HSV-1 and HSV-2. While it's commonly believed that HSV-1 only causes oral herpes, or cold sores, the fact is that HSV-1 can cause genital herpes. HSV-1 genital herpes infections tend to have less severe symptoms than HSV-2 infections, however. |

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease that impacts nearly one-fifth of the U.S. population. Recent studies show that being infected with genital herpes can increase your chances of getting HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Studies also show that genital herpes can contribute to some serious complications for people already infected with HIV.
Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease that comes in two varieties, HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 generally effects the oral area, although it can occasionally impact the genital area. HSV-2 primarily impacts the genital area and is generally considered the more problematic of the two varieties of herpes. HSV-1 and HSV-2 can both impact the genital area, and symptoms related to genital herpes include blisters or sores in the genital area. These sores generally present themselves in an initial outbreak shortly after the infected person contracts herpes. Some infected persons have subsequent outbreaks, but these outbreaks tend to be less severe than the original. |
