The herpes simplex virus (HSV) (also known as Cold Sore, Night Fever, or Fever Blister) is a virus that manifests itself in two common viral infections, each marked by painful, watery blisters in the skin or mucous membranes (such as the mouth or lips) or on the genitals. The disease is contagious, particularly during an outbreak, and is incurable with present technology. During this time, the asymptomatic person should be extremely careful (washing hands frequently; not touch the blister area, etc.) since transmission is still possible. An infection on the lips is commonly known as a "cold sore" or "fever blister". These are sometimes confused with canker sores or Apthous ulcers which have a similar appearance; these appear inside the mouth and are not caused by the herpes simplex virus.

In the big scope of things, herpes is not that serious. Most cases can be completely controlled by anti-viral medication such as Valtrex. Many people never have a second outbreak after their initial outbreak. Many never have an initial outbreak. Herpes is simply a controllable skin disease. According to the Center for Disease Control, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 5 men have genital herpes. By age 65, 80% of people will contract oral herpes. Also according to the CDC, only 1 in 10 people that have genital herpes actually know.
The most serious ramification of getting herpes is the damage it will do to your dating life. It's misunderstood by most.

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first outbreak. Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease over a period of years.

Burrrrrr is absolutely correct in his/her answer. I must add that herpes can be very serious for those with immune problems or newborn babies. Mothers who are having an outbreak of herpes before delivering must have a C-section to prevent the baby from being seriously infected.

Herpes is a very serious disease and while there are treatments, it is not currable. There are different types of the disease though. There is Oral (cold sores) and Genital. Both can be transferred to both places. If cold sores appear in large clusters it is more than likely genital on your mouth, and vice versa. Like I said, there are treatments, but you need to see a doctor. If anything, contact your local health department! Good Luck

It is highly contagious and is incurable. Typically causes very painful and unsightly cutaneous sores around the lips or genitals. Although they are a nuisance, they aren't life-threatening.
Herpes infection in the eye can cause serious vision damage.
Herpes can kill newborns and immunocompromised people (people with AIDS, cancer, etc.) through encephalitis/meningitis. Can also cause pneumonia in immunocompromised patients.

There are different types of Herpes: type 1 and type 2.
A lot of ppl are infected with type 1 - it causes cold sores. Once you get it, you have the virus inside you for life. It is dormant most of the time, when it is active, it causes breakouts.
Type two mostly causes sores in the genital area. These can be painful. Again, once you get it, it is there for life, no cure.
practice safe sex,
