The genital herpes is a DST caused by the virus of herpes simplex (HSV), which is in the same family of the viruses responsible for chicken pox, the shingles and mononucleosis (generally called mono or disease of kisses ). HSV can occur in two forms: HSV-1, which infects 80 percent of the population of the United States, usually appears on the lips in the buttons of fever; HSV-2 is usually found in the genital sector. However, if a person with HSV-1 (buttons of fever) carries out the oral sex, their associate can contract HSV-1 in the genitals. In the same way, to take part in the oral sex can draw aside the genital herpes with the mouth in some rare cases.

According to the Control center of Diseases (CDC) more than 1 over 5 years of adolescence and adults is reached genital herpes. One generally finds it in the Afro-Americans that in the Caucasian Americans, and more commun run among women that at the men.

The occurrences of genital herpes are different for each infected person. The demonstrations can be tested during years. Some have frequent demonstrations every year, whereas others test only ones. Some factors which were allotted to cause demonstrations are:

* Effort

* Menstruation

* The suppression of immune system, caused by drugs like steroids or chemotherapy, or infections like HIV

* Disease

* Graft of surgical process or body

* Friction, often caused by vigorous sexual relations or exercise

* Tire

Demonstrations of genital herpes (http://herpes-virus.org/treatments.htm)often appear in the same sector each time. The symptoms, however, can always not appear in exactly the same place. It is not rare only one lesion to appear on the genitals in a repetition and approaches the anus in another example. Sometimes, the demonstration can be in activity and transmissible even without presence of the lesions.

It is common for the people who contract the genital herpes to test soft with aucuns symptoms of the whole. Consequently, they are ignoramuses of the infection. If the symptoms occur, the initial demonstration emerges in the aspect of the extremely painful lesions of skin.

Among women the wounds can emerge in and around the vaginal sector and in the cervix. At the men, the wounds can appear on the penis and the scrotum. If the sector under the foreskin is affected, the crusts can not develop, the wound will cure slowly without marking. The males and the females can also obtain lesions in other sectors of the body including/understanding, but not limited to: the urinary tract, around the opening, of the buttocks or the anal thighs. Once the blisters broke, the small wounds appear. And if these wounds are irritated by water or the urine, they can be painful. Finally, these wounds form a crusty covering and a crust more.

Approximately 80% people with the genital herpes are undiagnosed which means that the virus passed above to others associated. The not very frequent diagnosis and ignorance about the virus make with herpes DST most common to the world.

However, once diagnosed correctly, people who have the genital herpes can become proactifs about their health and benefit from the treatments which can reduce the frequency and the duration of the demonstrations. Treatment (http://herpes-virus.org/treatments.htm)can also reduce the risk to communicate the genital herpes with the sexual associates.
