What is Genital Herpes?
Genital Herpes is a Sexually Transmitted Disease
caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). It is
spread through sexual contact or by direct contact
with the rashes, sores or blisters of an infected
person. Herpes can also be passed to the eyes and
other parts of the body through contact with sores
or blisters. Pregnant women can pass the virus on to
their baby during birth. In some rare cases, babies
born to mothers with a first case of HSV develop
herpes shortly after birth. Women with recurrent
herpes have a lesser chance of passing the virus on
to their baby.
If the herpes virus gets into the eyes, it may cause
blindness.
What are the symptoms?
Two to 20 days after contact with an infected person
blisters, rashes or sores may appear around the area
where the virus entered the body. This is usually the
mouth, vagina, cervix, penis, anus, buttocks or
around the genitals and other parts of the body.
If this is the first time you have been infected with
HSV you may experience fever, flu-like symptoms, pain
when passing urine, enlarged glands, itching,
tingling and joint pain, as well as very painful
sores and blisters. These should heal in 1-2 weeks
without scarring.
If you have been infected with HSV before, it will
remain in your body. When it becomes active again,
the sores and blisters will reappear, although they
will be less painful and will heal faster. The number
of times HSV can become active varies from person to
person, and may be triggered by the following:
Stress, Weak immune system, Injury to an affected area, Fever, Menstruation, Poor diet and Sunlight.
Immediately before an outbreak of blisters, some
people experience a tingling sensation in the
infected area. At this time, the virus can be
passed on to partners through sexual contact or to
other parts of the body by direct contact with the
tingling area.
How is Genital Herpes diagnosed?
Diagnosis requires physical examination, medical
history, and a swab of the infected area.
What is the treatment for Genital Herpes?
There is no cure for herpes. However, there is
medication that helps reduce the symptoms and speeds
the healing of blisters and sores.
To alleviate pain and discomfort keep the infected
area clean and dry, wear cotton underwear and loose
clothing, take medication for pain, use bath salts,
cold compresses and try urinating in water.
To avoid spreading the virus to other parts of the
body, always wash hands well after touching the
infected area.
Can I have sex?
You should avoid sexual or close contact with sexual
partners until all sores and blisters are healed.
Always inform your sexual partners that you have
herpes.
Herpes is spread through direct contact with sores or
blisters. Take precautions -- always use a latex
condom during sex to provide some protection.
Genesis 1:29 "And God said,
'Behold I have given every herb-bearing seed which is
upon the face of all the earth and every tree, in
which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed: to you it
shall be for meat'."
