The Causes of Herpes?

"thanks for the info. I now know what caused my herpes . . my girlfriend!

The causes of herpes on your genitals is mainly down to having sex with an infected partner. Even just close genital contact is all it takes to spread the virus to another person. Herpes is painful and once contracted will always appear in the same area of the body as your first outbreak.

Genital herpes can appear on the skin anywhere in the genital area as nasty blisters/sores, which them burst making them painful.

Both men and women are equally at risk of developing genital herpes. In rare causes adults and children can be infected indirectly, such as through the use of an infected towel. Babies can also be infected during delivery (see genital herpes during pregnancy).

Not everybody infected with HSV will develop genital herpes. Some will be infected with a strain that does not produce blisters or sores, or they will remain asymptomatic (i.e. no blisters will appear) even though the virus is present within the body.

If you have sexual intercourse with someone just once with the HSV virus, there is a 2 in 3 chance you have contracted the virus. So if you have a partner you are sexually active with, there is a strong possibility you have already contracted the HSV virus from them. 80% of people who have the HSV virus actually develop genital herpes.

Once a person contracts the HSV virus a quiet period of months to years can occur. Sometimes several years pass without any symptoms. However even without showing any symptoms it still leaves a healthy partner vulnerable to becoming infected during sexual activity.

How do you know you have herpes?

If you have contracted HSV you may not have any visible symptoms yet, as symptoms tend to occur a few days after contraction (usually 5-10 days later). Sometimes several years pass without any symptoms. However even without showing any symptoms it still leaves a healthy partner vulnerable to becoming infected during sexual activity.

By visiting a sexual health clinic a doctor can carry out a visual inspection if the outbreak is typical, and can take a sample from the blisters/sores and sent it off to be tested in a laboratory.

If you are not having an outbreak but want to be tested for HSV, a blood test can be taken. This test will detect HSV1 or HSV2 within your body, although the results are not always clear-cut.
