Many people with genital herpes are unaware that they are infected with the virus, because the symptoms can be very mild, or they might not have any symptoms at all. When symptoms are present, they include pain, itching and sores in the genital area.

Infants infected with the virus usually display mild symptoms initially, including low grade fever, small blisters and poor feeding. Symptoms can quickly intensify causing seizures, high fever, and in sever cases, even death.

Unfortunately since there is no cure for genital herpes, so it is a lifelong diagnosis. However, symptoms can usually be managed well with medication, and most people with herpes are able to lead a relatively normal life. The most severe effects of the virus could include meningitis, bladder problems, rectal inflammation, and can cause one to contract or transmit other STDS more easily.

There is currently no cure for herpes, however outbreaks can be prevented or shortened by taking antiviral medication daily. Taking this medication can also help prevent the virus from spreading to others.

Herpes is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). Sexual contact is the primary way that the virus is spread. The best way to prevent contracting herpes is to wear protection during sex, and to be sure your sexual partner is not currently experiencing an outbreak.
