Information about
herpes (hsv1 and hsv2)
If you are a sexually active adult, you have heard of HerpesVirus Hominus, although you may never have heard it called by it's proper medical name. Herpes Simplex Virus is an std that puts anyone who is sexually active at risk. It has made the news that herpes infections are effecting about 1 in 4 sexually active adults but I believe, because of the personal nature of the disease, that even those staggering statistics are inaccurate.
I feel herpes infections are much more widespread than that, perhaps as many as one in two sexually active adults, and is still greatly undereported.
How do you catch herpes simplex virus?
HSV1 and HSV2 are the two forms of herpes that concern those who are intimately active because both can be contracted during sex. While type 1, or HSV-1 is far more likely to be transmitted in a nonsexual manner, both types can infect the genital area. Oral herpes occurs in the mouth and on the face and can be easily spread by kissing, drinking right after a person with a herpes lesion on the mouth, or by touching a weeping lesion and then touching other parts of the face. Oral herpes can also be spread to the eyes where it can be dangerous and even cause blindness. There is some speculation that oral herpes can migrate to the brain through the nose so it's a good idea to always wash your hands after touching an oral lesion and then rubbing or picking your nose. Genital herpes is typically spread by sexual intercourse and can affect any area on or around the genitals in both males and females. Newborns can contract GHSV during the birth process and it's possible that the HSV-2 virus can live long enough on towels or in moist, warm areas like saunas or whirlpools to contact it there if you are touch an area just vacated by someone with open lesions.Becoming infected with herpes may show no symptoms for days but finally results in an outbreak of small blisters at the contact site, which is the part of the body where the virus entered. Before the blisters though, there is typically a feeling of tingling in the area, which is known as predome and often, fever and achiness like with the flu.
Can herpesvirus be cured?
According to medical authorities, there is still no recognized cure for genital herpes infections or other forms of the hsv virus infection. Standard medical treatments include prescription medicines like valtrex, which is widely advertised, and it's forerunner, acyclovir. There can be side effects with these medications so be sure you tell your doctor if you have liver problems or if you experience any unpleasant symptoms after starting on the prescription treatments.Many people are finding that they can control their herpes outbreaks throught the use of very effective natural remedies that address both HSV1 and HSV2. So until a cure is found, take comfort in the fact that millions are controlling their outbreaks naturally and safely.
HSV1 vs HSV2 - What's the difference?
Herpes has two main forms: Herpes Simplex 1, or HSV1, infects the mouth (cold sores) while Herpes Simplex 2, or HSV2, infects the genital area.Since a large majority of humans are already afflicted with herpes and even more are at risk to contract either oral or genital herpes it is vitally important to become educated on the disease.
What are the symptoms of herpes?
When a person contracts genital (often mispelled genetal) herpesvirus, it infects the nerve cells of the spinal cord while an oral herpes infection attacks the nerves at the base of the brain. The virus is contagious, particularly during the period just before visible outbreak, which is called prodome.During this the prodome period before an outbreak, a person may experience tingling of the skin or a stinging sensation where the blisters later appear. Once a person contracts herpes, this prodome warning just before the outbreak can allow for a heading off of the attack if noticed and responded to quickly..
While symptoms of oral or genital herpes infections are present, the infected person must not allow these areas to come into direct contact with another person. When the virus has been transmitted to another, the infection is permanent.
The herpes outbreak, occurring shortly after the prodome period mentioned above, is distinquished by one or several small blisters. The blisters rupture and form scabs indicating the end of the outbreak. Outbreaks generally last a few days and often occur during stress.
During this blister phase any area of broken skin or mucosa, including eyes, mouth, esophagus, anus and vagina can be infected. more on symptoms of herpes.

Cautions about other herpes remedies:
Many products contain ingredients, such as alcohol, which can sting and further irritate the infected area. Who needs more pain when you have an outbreak? Some products also contain lidocaine or benzocaine which are designed to "numb" but are only partially effective and can lead to allergic reactions.Topical creams and ointments may even prolong the healing of HSV outbreaks as they do not penetrate into the cell membranes of the skin and they also irritate the area of the outbreak. Experts strongly advise against using any kind of topical cortisone-type cream on herpes as this can suppress the local immunity and may worsen your outbreaks significantly.
In contrast, pure and natural essential oils in these healing formulas have the proven ability to penetrate into the cell membranes and inactivate the herpes virus where it resides: in the DNA.
