The Transmission of Genital Herpes
More and more people rue the fact that genital herpes is a very contagious disease and worse, difficult to detect when people infected with it experience the disease asymptomatically. And the worst thing about genital herpes – the disease can not be destroyed at all when it has been communicated to you from another. To be blunt, genital herpes is a cureless disease.
And if you’re not aware of this, you should be because it’s not easy to avoid being the unwary recipient of genital herpes.
There are several, and at times seemingly innocuous, ways for genital herpes to be transmitted from one person to another. There are two types of herpes by the way – oral and genital. The only difference between the two is where the symptoms of herpes appear. Someone with oral herpes may be able to transmit the virus to another being but result into genital herpes and vice versa.
Transmission of HSV – or the virus accountable for both genital and oral herpes – usually happens during acts of intimacy. If, for example, one with oral herpes engages with an act that allows contact between the mouth of the infected and the genital parts of his or her partner, there’s a very good chance then that the latter would have genital herpes.
Secondly, one with genital herpes have bodily contact with another person – and resulting into an unfortunate yet inevitable contact between both person’s genital parts – can transmit the virus to his or her partner.
Now, it is also possible for genital herpes to be transmitted to another person without engaging in any sexual acts. When there’s an opening in your body – a wound or blister, for example – especially when it’s near your genital areas, the herpes virus can enter through that opening.
I leave it to you to imagine what circumstances could make such a thing possible. But believe you me, it is extremely possible for this to do so. You need only watch CSI to understand how this could happen.
Lastly, a mother-to-be infected with genital herpes can communicate the disease to her unborn child. Painful symptoms may follow and even spell death for the innocent babe. You may avoid this if you give birth via caesarian section, may being the operative word. Infants can also be infected by genital herpes if they’re kissed in certain vulnerable parts by someone with cold sores.
As you can see, there are many ways for genital herpes to be transmitted so to avoid being the unwilling victim of genital herpes, be cautious as much as possible in choosing whom you’ll be intimate with.
Be doubly cautious however if you’re a mother because your baby is
also very vulnerable and may be infected by genital herpes before you know
it.
