First and foremost your overall health plays an integral part in being able to eliminate herpes outbreaks. The healthier you are, the stronger your immune system is, the less severe the outbreaks will be or the more likely it will be to eliminate herpes outbreaks from ever occurring. Studies have linked poor diet, lack of sleep and stress to recurring outbreaks. Placing focus on those aspects of your life will be far more beneficial in the long run when trying to eliminate herpes outbreaks.
Another known factor in triggering a herpes outbreak is friction. This happens during sexual intercourse or sexual relations where friction is applied to the genitals or area of herpes infection causing stress and microscopic tears and stress on the skin. A proper precaution that can be taken during times of intimacy that may help in eliminating a herpes outbreak or preventing an outbreak from occurring is to use a lubricant. Lubricants can be found in most adult novelty shops and now in your local pharmacy or supermarket. There is no reason to be shameful of making such a purchase. The biggest defense we have against the ongoing spread of herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases is not just good clean sex, but smart sex!
The herpes virus is transmitted during direct contact between an infected person and one who is not. This includes skin-to-skin contact, kissing, sexual intercourse, and oral sex. The mucous membranes (mouth, nose, ears, throat, genitals, and anus) are more susceptible to infection with herpes, as well as the cervix and urethra.
Transmission will occur when the virus is in its active phase, most easily during an outbreak (when noticeable symptoms are present) or during the period just before an outbreak; when itching or tingling may occur. A small percentage of the time herpes can also be transmitted between outbreaks (when no symptoms are present). This happens when small amounts of the virus come to the surface of the skin without causing any symptoms. Herpes simplex 1 can be transmitted to the genital area if the infected person performs oral sex on an uninfected person. Herpes simplex 2 can also be transmitted to the mouth by the same method.
Genital herpes is affecting approximately one in every four adults over the age of 12. Millions of new cases are diagnosed each day. genital herpes is not a prejudice virus, it can and will attack anyone who lives and breathes regardless of social stature, upbringing, race, religion or gender. There is no magical way of knowing who has herpes and who does not without talking openly with that person about their sexual history. It’s also important to realize that just because one person has herpes and the other does not, this does not mean they cannot live in a loving, healthy and thriving relationship together. It all boils down to communication and trust.
With this known fact in mind, the best way to eliminate herpes outbreaks from ever even being a concern is to be aware of your partners sexual history, seek proper medical advice and testing prior to intimacies and use proper safe sex measures when you are in a relationship with a person who has been infected with the herpes virus.
Being able to eliminate herpes outbreakss is a real possibility, but keep in mind the story about the tree falling in the forest. Just because no one was around to hear it fall doesn’t mean it didn’t make a sound. The same theory holds true for genital herpes. Just because you can’t see it or feel it at all times does not mean it isn’t there. It is there and it can pose a risk to your intimate partners at any given time.
