What Is Herpes?
Published by admin on Tagged Herpes InfoHerpes is a common viral infection. It is estimated that herpes affects approximately 80 million people in America and that one in five adults in the United States has genital herpes. The herpes simplex virus causes oral herpes (cold sores or fever blisters), and genital herpes (genital sores or sores below the waist).
There are two types of herpes simplex viruses:
• Herpes Simplex Type 1 (HSV-1)
• Herpes Simplex Type 2 (HSV-2)
While either type can infect the mouth or genitals, HSV-1 usually occurs above the waist, and HSV-2 usually occurs below. These viruses look identical under the microscope.
