What is Herpes?
1. Genital Herpes
Genital herpes is a relatively common sexually transmitted disease. There are several ways the disease can be passed on, but sex is the mode of transmission in the vast majority of cases. Once somebody has been infected by the disease, it will often remain dormant, and symptoms to return from time to time.
There is no known cure for genital herpes, and the patient may face recurrences of the disease for the rest of their lives. However, it may be possible to avoid triggers that cause symptoms to appear. The symptoms of the condition are also not usually dangerous, even though they can be uncomfortable.
