| Herpes is an illness evoked by HSV (herpes simplex virus) of two types, known as HSV-1 and HSV-2. The 2 types of herpes virus cause two types of illnesses, known as oral herpes and genital herpes. Herpes symptoms are different in accordance with the type of herpes. You need to know that after a person is infected the virus takes its way to sensory nerves where they become latent and stay in a human organism life-long. There are people that live their whole life not knowing that they're infected with HSV, since no symptoms of herpes are revealed. Visible symptoms of oral herpes virus are usually defined as cold sores and fever blisters that appear on mouth and face. This kind of virus is communicated as respiratory and droplet infections. Thus, a person may become infected in the course of an ordinary personal contact with a person infected with a virus when the illness is in the stage of exacerbation. The second type of herpes is recognized by appearance of genital warts. If you aren't sure whether you've been infected with herpes virus or it is a different infection, it's highly recommended that you consulted a physician. Have a look at genital warts pictures to get a clear understanding of visible genital herpes symptoms. It is rather logical that genital herpes is transmitted through sexual performance with an infected person. Some people suppose that it is not possible to become infected with herpes virus after a single sexual contact. But you have to understand that this virus is greatly contagious, so if you're planning to have a sex performance with a person you are not sure of, you need to think of using a condom. These days no medicine that is capable of complete elimination of the herpes virus from human body has not been invented. Once infected, the herpes virus will remain in the person's organism for the whole life. But nevertheless there are medicines that are capable of suppressing the activity of herpes virus for about 5 to 10 years. Herpes symptoms won't be apparent for this time. |
