What is Herpes?
Herpes is caused by two types of viruses:
- HSV-1 (commonly causes oral herpes)
- HSV-2 (typically causes genital herpes)
It spreads through skin-to-skin contact, including oral, vaginal, or anal sex. Many people with herpes may be unaware they have it, as symptoms can be mild or even absent.
Common Symptoms of Herpes
- Painful blisters or sores on genitals, anus, or mouth
- Itching or tingling in the affected area
- Burning sensation during urination
- Flu-like symptoms during the first outbreak
- Recurrent outbreaks in some individuals
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to get tested and begin treatment early.
