Through sexual contact.
Herpes is a virus, not a cellular organism, so it is not a member of any of the kingdoms in the biological classification system.
No its is an STD(sexually transmitted disease)
It means your goldfish has a type of disease called herpes, and no, not the type you're thinking of. This is a type of herpes known only to goldfish. They get it when they have sex with a rock in their fish bowl. You should get your goldfish checked for herpes right away. You don't have to go to a vet though, just suck on it's fins and it should be fine. If it tastes like salt, then they're fine. But if it tastes like vinegar, your goldfish has herpes. Hope this information helped.
While ladybugs do transmit a sort of sexually transmitted disease among their species, they do not harbor diseases. Also the STD in ladybugs is no threat to humans.
My cat has herpes. It will not go away. Her eye flares up horribly and she has to take Lysine and eye drops. She was born that way. Cats can get a type of herpes that doesn't affect people. It's called FHV1 (feline herpes virus 1) and can cause cold-like symptoms and eye problems.
Women are more apt to catch and transmit the infection.
Any sexual activity involving genital-genital contact can transmit the herpes virus.
Women are more at risk for herpes.
About 20-25% of pregnant women with untreated HIV transmit it to their fetuses.
Yes, it is possible for a person with herpes to not have any symptoms. This is known as asymptomatic or silent herpes. However, even without symptoms, the person can still transmit the virus to others through viral shedding.
Yes it's harder to transmit from man to woman.
Herpes is a virus that can appear either in the mouth area or in the genital area (HS-1 or HS-2). It causes the development of blisters that tend to scab over and heal with time (typically a few days.) It is not deadly. However, it is not curable either. People simply have to live with it. People who have Herpes can lead relatively normal lives. The issue of Herpes would only really come up under certain circumstances. For example, when people with Herpes have outbreaks, it can be both psychologically and physically uncomfortable. Herpes sores that appear in the mouth tend to be visible and thus makes the person uncomfortable. It is not recommended that people with visible mouth blisters kiss someone, as it is possible to transmit the virus this way. The issue of genital sores is equally uncomfortable as it may affect the sex lives of those infected and their partners. Again, the virus can be transmitted sexually. Most doctors would recommend that herpes patients refrain from unprotected sex during herpes outbreaks. Furthermore, studies have suggested that people can also transmit the virus to others even when obvious blisters are not present. Bottom line--there is no absolutely safe time for a herpes patient to have unprotected sex without risking infecting a partner.
The risk of acquiring HIV infection through kissing is very small. However, people who are not receiving proper therapy can become infected with the virus and transmit it to others. The risk of acquiring a herpes virus infection through kissing is much greater and herpes virus infection is not as harmless as was once believed.
Herpes can be on your cheek.
If there is absoloutly no sign or symptom of a cold sore then you're less likely to spread it. You're more likely to pass it around the time a break out occurs and while the sore is healing.
You can't remove herpes.
All types of herpes cause itching or burning. This is true for oral herpes, genital herpes, chicken pox, and shingles.
