What is Herpes?
Herpes cure is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the Herpes cure simplex virus (HSV). It is one of the most common STDs in the world, and it is estimated that approximately one in eight people have been infected by the virus. Around 80% of those infected don’t even know they have the virus. It is impossible to know exactly how many people have the virus since many cases are asymptomatic or never diagnosed.
What Causes Herpes?
Herpes cure is caused by two different viruses: HSV1 and HSV2. HSV1 usually causes sores around the mouth, while HSV2 causes genital warts herpes.
The infection is spread by skin-to-skin contact, and it can be transmitted through oral, vaginal, and anal sex, and kissing. It can also be spread through contact with lesions from other areas of the body. The virus goes into the body through small lesions in the skin, or through the mucosae in the mouth, penis, vagina, cervix, or anus.
After the infection, the patient might develop unspecific symptoms such as fever, fatigue, nausea, myalgia, adenopathy, along with the characteristic sores. Sores are small blisters that can sting or burn. They are usually grouped in clusters and they become crusted before healing. They don’t leave scars and resolve spontaneously. In some cases, patients won’t develop sores, instead of displaying only irritated skin. Women can also present with vaginal discharge. Some people can be infected and remain asymptomatic; however, they can still spread the virus to other people.
After the first episode, the virus can become latent and remain in sensory nerves. This is known as the latent stage; afterward, the virus can affect the skin again, usually along the pathway of the nerve where it has remained. These are the recurring episodes of the virus.
Fortunately, outbreaks tend to become less frequent and painful over time.
How is Herpes cure Diagnosed?
A sample will be taken from a sore and tested to determine whether HSV is present in the lesion, thus confirming the diagnosis. However, a negative result does not rule out herpes. Samples should be taken from new ulcers, where it is more likely to find the virus.
Blood tests are also carried out to determine the presence of antibodies against HSV. This test can condition if the infection is new or a repeat outbreak. It is usually very difficult, if not impossible, to point to the exact moment a person was infected with the virus. If Herpes cure is diagnosed, tests should be carried out to discard other STDs, since they can exist as comorbidities.
