Herpes simplex 1 (HSV-1) and (HSV-2) are two different types of the Herpes virus. HSV-1 is the oral type of herpes that shows up around the mouth or lips. The lesions usually look like a cold sore or a fever blister. HSV-2 is usually located in the genitals or rectum with sores in those specific areas.
HSV-1 is usually contracted by oral secretions or sores or by kissing someone with a lesion. Also sharing utensils or toothbrushes can transfer the virus. HSV-2 is almost always contracted through sexual contact from a person who has a genital HSV-2 infection or outbreak.
People with the virus will experience periods of outbreaks and periods of dormancy. There are some triggers that may cause an outbreak such as; fatigue, stress, general illness, immunosuppression, trauma, and menstruation.
Symptoms of HSV 1 & 2 are blisters around affected areas usually the mouth, genitals, and rectum.
There are several different oral as well as topical medications that treat HSV1 & HSV2.
Herpes can be very painful and usually prior to a breakout you will feel tingling or burning sensation in the area. The blisters can be very painful as well.
HSV-1 & 2 is a virus and cannot be cured. Once it is in the cells it can remain inactive until something triggers it to be active.
