Oral And Genital Herpes
Oral and genital herpes are two different types of viral infection located in different locations. Oral herpes is caused by HSV-1, the type of virus that affects the upper portion of the body including the lips, mouth, tongue, eyes and head. They say this type of virus is mild as compared to HSV2. HSV-2 is a viral infection caused by a more harmful virus that causes genital sores, lesions and blisters that are painful and uncomfortable. Oral and genital herpes infection can happen in one person if they perform sexual via oral and genital contact.
Oral and genital herpes poses a high risk of transmitting the virus to the other. It is dangerous to have oral sex when you have genital herpes outbreak. The virus (herpes simplex virus Type 2) is not only transmitted via sexual contact but also through oral sex. The risk of transmission can happen during exchanges of bodily fluids resulting from intimate encounters by oral, anal, genital intercourse, masturbation, kissing, or any direct skin-to-skin contact.
Oral and genital herpes are highly contagious during early symptoms (prodrome) indicating the onset of an attack or a disease. At this point even though there are no active sores and lesions yet sex should be avoided. There are times that oral and genital herpes have no symptoms present. Because the virus already lived in the body, genital herpes can be potentially contagious when no symptoms are present and may have the potentials of shedding active virus without knowing it. Statistics show that there are approximately 1 in 6 members of the general population who were infected with herpes simplex virus is thought to shed active virus occasionally without symptoms.
The risk of having oral and genital herpes is high because even when there is no presence of the symptoms the lesions that occur in the internal part of the vaginal canal where it can hardly be seen or felt, but can readily transmit the virus.
Oral and genital herpes can be transmitted to the genitals, and vice versa. Both oral and genital herpes can recur from time to time. Some people have 4 recurrences in a year, while other people have them rarely or it may be no recurrences at all. If you are having oral and genital herpes you should see a doctor even you don’t find any symptoms in you. There are tests that can prove that you may be carrying the virus with the absence of symptoms. Most tests are done by visual inspection while symptoms are still present. The doctor will look at the area, take a sample from the affected area and tested in the lab under the microscope to see if the herpes virus is present. If you have oral herpes (cold sore), avoid having oral sex. When you have an active outbreak, the virus can spread to your partner's genital area and give her genital herpes.
