Life after Genital Herpes

After the first outbreak of genital herpes and once the infection has healed, many people make the mistake of assuming they are now free of the virus. Unfortunately this is not true. After the first outbreak, the virus lies dormant in the body just waiting for a trigger to reactivate it.

This trigger can be anything from stress to a low immune system which may result from other illness. Normally four to five outbreaks can be expected a year, however subsequent outbreaks are never as bad as the first.

For many people the amount of outbreaks over the years will decrease over time and eventually several years or more may elapse before other outbreaks occur. However it should be remembered that the virus is still "live" in the body, and there is the possibility of infecting other people if they have unprotected sex. The genital herpes virus can be passed from one person to another even if there are no blisters, sores or lesions present.

It should be remembered by everyone who has contracted the virus (or those who are at risk of contracting it) that there is no cure for genital herpes, it can only be managed, and when engaging in sex with another person, adequate protection should be used. You should also always be upfront with all sexual partners both past and imminent so they can make their own choice about managing the disease if they have contracted it from you and also whether they want to take the risk if they haven't yet had sex with you.

Other reasons its imperative you use protection when having sex if you have genital herpes is that unfortunately you are now more at risk of contracting the HIV virus. This is because the HIV virus is much more easily absorbed into the body through the lesions and sores present when an outbreak is occurring. If you have unprotected sex with someone who is HIV positive, then not only do you run the risk of contracting his/her HIV, you also run the risk of making them very ill due to their compromised Immune system.

If you fall pregnant it's very important you inform your Obstetrician you have genital herpes. He will need to keep a very close eye on you to ensure you don't suffer an outbreak when the birth is imminent. If you do feel you have an outbreak coming on just before you give birth, inform your delivery team immediately as they may decide to offer you a caesarian section. This is because if the virus is transmitted to your baby during a vaginal birth, it could cause problems such as meningitis.

Genital herpes can be managed, and managed successfully however it needs commitment to ensure it's kept under control.

I hope this sexually transmitted diseases article was helpful to you, no matter how much... or how little it had to do with statistics of HPV.
