About National Herpes Awareness Day
Lifestyle , Family & Friends
Ends: Oct 13, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
National Herpes Awareness Day is an initiative of the brand FemiClear. There are two types of genital herpes, HSV-1 and HSV-2. Condoms are the only proven form to mitigate catching genital herpes for the sexually active. Avoiding kissing people with cold sores will lessen the chance of catching versions found outside the genital areas.
From the CDC:
"Genital herpes is a chronic, lifelong viral infection. Two types of HSV can cause genital herpes: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Most cases of recurrent genital herpes are caused by HSV-2, and 11.9% of persons aged 14–49 years are estimated to be infected in the United States (436). However, an increasing proportion of anogenital herpetic infections have been attributed to HSV-1, which is especially prominent among young women and MSM (186,437,438).
The majority of persons infected with HSV-2 have not had the condition diagnosed, many of whom have mild or unrecognized infections but shed the virus intermittently in the anogenital area. Consequently, most genital herpes infections are transmitted by persons unaware that they have the infection or who are asymptomatic when transmission occurs. Management of genital HSV should address the chronic nature of the infection rather than focusing solely on treating acute episodes of genital lesions."
As one in six people worldwide suffers from this medical condition, we figured it was best to let the CDC explain it. You can access the complete information on their website here: https://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment-guidelines/herpes.htm
