Herpes affects an astounding number of people worldwide. Millions of people carry HSV-2 (Herpes Simplex Virus}, the strain primarily causing genital herpes. Many people are unaware that they are carriers. One of the roadblocks to preventing herpes is the lack of information on the virus. Defining herpes There is neither cure nor herpes vaccine. The virus enters the skin cells and reproduces, finally bringing on irritation, redness and sores. After an outbreak, herpes travels from the nerve cells to the spinal cord, where it remains until recurrence, which happens sporadically. Yet, it is possible to have a normal and happy life with herpes, including an active intimate life and childbirth. What is an outbreak? Herpes lesions are small sores or blisters that occur singly or in groups. They range from mildly to extremely painful and bring on an itching or burning feeling. The lesions look like red, white or grey blisters or open sores. Since it travels along nerve endings, the virus commonly recurs nearby the site of initial contagion. An outbreak lasts from a few days to a few weeks. The first outbreak usually occurs within 2-21 days of contagion. Severity and duration usually diminish with recurrences, as soon as the body has developed a defence of antibodies. Unless skin lesions become infected with bacteria, they typically do not leave scars. Outbreaks can be accompanied by flu-like symptoms, including general malaise, bad headaches, muscle aches, fatigue or enlarged lymph nodes. However, a great many people have few or no symptoms, which explains why HSV-2 is so widespread. An outbreak can also happen within the genitals, where it may not be easily seen or felt. How can one be infected? Herpes is normally transmitted where skin touches the virus at a sore location. It can also be contracted through saliva that has mixed with the virus or by touching a lesion and then touching another skin area. Genital herpes is chiefly spread by close contact.
