Herpes simplex virus 1 is the virus that causes fever blisters and cold sores.
Herpes simplex virus ll is the virus that is responsible for genital herpes.
There are anti viral medications that you can take to help reduce outbreaks of herpes,(Valtrex) but it is still possible to spread it even when no signs are present.
It IS possible to spread HSv-1 by oral sex. If you have a fever blister and preform oral sex on someone, you can give them genital herpes. Just as someone with genital herpes can spread it to you by oral, vaginal or anal sex . Please use protection if you have genital herpes. marlin
yes if you have an cold sore in your lips the HSV1 will spread.Because the HSV1 virus spread the cold sore so keep avoiding kiss to the kids.
No, HSV1 and HSV2 are different viruses. You may be infected with HSV1 if you are already infected with HSV2, and vice versa, however, infection with one does not mean you will get the other unless you are exposed.
No, you need contact with the sore or fluid from the sore. It's really unlikely the fluid would get on your gum. Don't worry.
No it does not. HSV-1 is a different virus than HSV-2.
Herpes whitlow is usually caused by HSV1. If you bite your finger nails while you have a cold sore and bite through the skin you could pass HSV1 to your fingers. Dentists used to get it on their fingers while examining people that had a cold sore, that was before they started using latex gloves.
Approximately 80% of people have HSV-1. It is OK to work in a food shop.
Yes, cold sores are caused by HSV1 also known as oral herpes. But they are nothing bad to have and you can get them on the mouth with out having any thing to do with sex.
Cold sores are caused by a virus called oral herpes (also known as HSV1), this is easily detected through blood work just talk to your doctor about it.
The oral HSV1 and genital HSV2 arise from two different strains. Therefore, even if you break out from (or are a carrier of) HSV1 it does not protect you from HSV2 -- or vice versa. The best protection for both partners is to limit contact when each of you have an outbreak of either HSV1 or HSV2, and to use condoms to prevent genital transmission of HSV2 to the unaffected partner. Kissing remains one of the most common ways to transmit HVS1 and unprotected sex or intercourse during an outbreak, especially with weeping sores, is one of the most common ways to infect a partner with HSV2.
herpes is a virus that infects the nerve cells in your body. there are several serotypes (varieties) but the most common are HSV1 (herpes simplex virus 1) and HSV2. while HSV1 is more commonly "oral" herpes and HSV2 is more commonly "genital" herpes, both can be transmitted to either location. There is no treatment for herpes. once you have been infected, you are infected for life. A person can only treat the symptoms of herpes to make the outbreaks less painfull and of a shorter duration. There are no holistic remedies that have been scientifically proven.
Yes it is a herpes infection but normally a different type. Cold sores are normally caused by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV1) while genital herpes are caused by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2.
It can. However, HSV presents itself in many different ways. Do not count on bladder symptoms. It would be a good idea to get on a preventive medication for your HSV. Remember, you can transmit HSV even when you do not have an outbreak.
