STI of the month
Herpes
Is a sexually transmitted infection that can affect the genital and mouth area. HSV-1 targets the oral area and HSV-2 targets the genital area. Both of the strands of Herpes can come with no symptoms, but just because there are no symptoms showing does not mean the person does not have Herpes. You can contract Herpes through any type of sexual contact. Herpes outbreaks can resemble blister like sores and cold sores. When the outbreaks heal Herpes goes into a dormant stage and can reoccur anytime. To lower your risk of contracting Herpes use condoms and dental dams. Make sure to talk to your sexual partners about Herpes and any other STIs either of you may have. Go see your doctor for treatments and for more information about Herpes.
