Genital Herpes

Today I have an article by someone else for you on
Genital Herpes

Genital herpes is not the only kind of herpes that exist today.
There are other forms like cold sores and these can be painful
and embarrassing as well not to mention the fact that they are
a harder form of herpes to hide. Did you know that there are
over 80 different forms of the herpes virus? It is a good thing
that only 8 of them affect humans. The most common forms of
herpes can affect both the mouth and genital areas, they do not
stick to one localized area.

Genital herpes is the most well known form of herpes and it
affects millions of Americans today and each and every year at
least 1 million more herpes cases are reported. You can get
this type of herpes through any sort of skin to skin touching
and it is something that both men and women can get. The
symptoms of genital herpes are rashes, bumps or even blisters.
When you are having a genital herpes outbreak you are much more
contagious than when you are not although herpes can still be
spread when there are no symptoms felt or seen.

You can also catch herpes through oral to genital contact, not
just genital to genital. Herpes is a virus and just like a cold
it can be easily spread from one person to another. Some of
those who get herpes cold sores only get these painful blisters
once while others get them throughout their entire lives. If you
have ever had a cold sore then you have herpes and you always
will, there is nothing that can be done to get rid of this
herpes virus.

You can get herpes through any sort of contact and sexual
contact is the most common way to transfer this virus. Any kind
of sexual contact including genital, oral and even anal sexual
contact will put you at risk.
