About Herpes
If you're a person who has recently experienced your first herpes
outbreak, it has no doubt come as quite a shock to you. We know...we've all been
there. But what's most important is to realize that now the worst is probably
behind you, and also that help is available.
Medications can help to minimize the symptoms and spread of the virus.
Treatment can also be taken on a continuing basis to help ensure that you don't
have further episodes. Your doctor can provide the best advice about which
treatment is right for you.
What is Herpes? Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused
by a virus called the Herpes Simplex Virus. It's passed from
person-to-person by contact with infected skin. There are several strains of the
herpes virus, two of these strains commonly cause Herpes. You can have
Oral Herpes (on the lips, most often 'cold sores'), Genital Herpes
(on the genitals) or non-genital herpes (herpes on other parts of the body; most
often 'shingles'). Shingles is not sexually transmitted. It is a
secondary event long after the initial infection with common 'chicken pox'.
You can get Oral herpes (HSV-1) by kissing a person with an
oral (mouth) infection, by having oral sex with somebody who is infected, or by
any skin-to-skin contact involving an infected area. You can also get Genital
Herpes (HSV-2) by having unprotected sex (vaginal, oral, or anal)
with someone who already has it.
After a first outbreak of Herpes, the virus stays in the body for
life. Some people do not have any further episodes or symptoms of herpes. This
is called an inactive infection, when the virus is hidden in the body and
not infectious.
However, the symptoms of genital herpes do recur in some
people. These outbreaks tend to be milder and heal faster than the first
outbreak. This is called an active infection.
The active period may be obvious, with symptoms, or it may not. It is
possible that symptoms are not obvious, or not present at all, but skin cells
are shedding the virus during an active phase. This "viral shedding"
may be potentially infectious to others if sexual contact occurs.
What is HPV? Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is one of the most common
causes of sexually transmittedinfection (STI) in the
world. Health experts estimate there are more cases of genital
HPV infection than any other STI in the United States. According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 6.2 million
new cases of sexually transmitted HPV infections are reported every year.
At least 20 million people in this country alone are already infected.
There are many different types of HPV and more than 30 are
sexually transmitted. Researchers keep track of the different types of HPV
by identifying them with numbers, such as 6, 11, 16, and 18.
Some types (such as 6 and 11) cause Genital Warts, others (such as
16 and 18) cause pre-cancerous changes on the cervix that can later lead to
cancer of the cervix. In rare cases, the virus can cause other types of cancers
to the vulva, vagina, and anus in women, and the penis and anus in men.
Genital warts (sometimes called condylomata acuminata or
venereal warts) are the most easily recognized sign of genitalHPV infection. Many people however, have a genital HPV
infection without genital warts.
Genital warts are soft, moist, or flesh colored and appear in the
genital area within weeks or months after infection. They sometimes appear in
clusters that resemble cauliflower-like bumps, and are either raised or flat,
small or large. Genital warts can show up in women on the vulva and
cervix, and inside and surrounding the vagina and anus. In men, genital warts
can appear on the scrotum or penis. There are cases where genital warts have
been found on the thigh and groin.
