The Truth About Genital Herpes: Complete Guide

This video is on Genital Herpes (HSV-1, HSV-2), causes, symptoms, treatment, prevention. The doctor explains what the terms mean, and what you need to know about genital herpes.

Herpes Simplex is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSV-1 is associated primarily with oral infections and HSV-2 causes mainly genital infections. However, either type can infect any site.

Infection is spread by intercourse with someone who has the disease.

Most people with the infection have no or mild symptoms.

Antiviral treatment should be offered to patients with primary or recurrent infections to reduce the active period of viral shedding and symptoms

There is no cure for genital herpes

Condoms offer some protection against transmission.

Planning for measures to prevent intrapartum transmission is an essential part of prenatal care for pregnant women with genital herpes.
