Article Excerpts about Herpes
Herpes is a sexually
transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV
-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or
symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they
typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or
rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take
two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another
outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always
is less severe and shorter than the first episode. Although the infection
can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to go
down over a period of years. (Source: excerpt from Genital Herpes: DSTD)
