The Difference Between HSV-1 and HSV-2:
The Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common and contagious infection divided into two types: HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 is typically associated with oral herpes, which can cause blisters around the mouth and lips. On the other hand, HSV-2 is most often associated with genital herpes, meaning blisters and sores can appear around the genitals or anus.

What Causes Herpes?
Herpes is spread through direct contact with infected blisters or sores. It can be transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, and anal sex. Furthermore, HSV-1 can be transmitted through kissing, sharing food or drink items, and by touching an active herpes blister. It's important to be aware that herpes can be contagious even when there are no visible blisters or symptoms.

What Are the Symptoms of Herpes?
Herpes can manifest in various ways, but common symptoms include painful blisters or sores on the genitals, anus, or around the mouth. Infected individuals may also experience itching, a burning sensation, and swelling in the affected area. Some people may experience a general feeling of malaise, headache, fever, and muscle aches during a herpes outbreak.

What Should You Do If You Have Herpes?
If you test positive for herpes, it is important to consult a doctor or healthcare professional to receive the correct treatment and advice based on your specific case. There is no cure for herpes, but medications are available to alleviate symptoms and reduce the risk of recurrent outbreaks. It is also important to inform sexual partners about your herpes status to minimize the risk of further transmission.

How Easily Is Herpes Transmitted?
Herpes is highly contagious and can be transmitted through direct contact with infected blisters or sores. It is possible to transmit the infection even when you do not have visible blisters or symptoms. Genital herpes can be transmitted through sexual contact, while oral herpes can be passed on through kissing and shared items. Using a condom can reduce the risk of transmission, but it does not provide a complete guarantee of protection as herpes can also be present outside the covered area.
