Genital herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections, affecting both men and women. The main pathogens are herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2).
HSV-1 can cause oral or genital lesions, while HSV-2 primarily affects the genital area and may pose risks for newborns.
Symptoms:
Many cases are asymptomatic. The infection can remain latent for years and be transmitted without visible symptoms. When present, symptoms include vesicular rash, itching, burning, and painful erosions.
Transmission:
Genital herpes is spread through vaginal, anal, or oral sex, via herpes sores, saliva (if the partner has oral herpes), or genital secretions. It is not transmitted through household items, water, or shared clothing.
