Herpes is a viral infection and is caused by Herpes simplex Virus(HSV). HSV can be divided into type 1 and type 2.
HSV-1 = Herpes labialis (oral Herpes simplex)
HSV-2 = Herpes genitalis(genital herpes)

Under a electron microscope, HSV- 1 and 2 are virtually identical.
Both types infect the body's mucosal surfaces, usually the mouth or genitals, and then establish latency in the nervous system. at least two-thirds of infected people have no symptoms, or symptoms too mild to notice. However, both types can recur and spread even when no symptoms are present.

Once anyone got herpes, (or chicken pox-varicella) HSV 1 will make a residence in trigerminal ganglia( in cranium - head), when they lack of immunity, from there, it tends to recur on the lower lip or face.(herpes labialis or oral herpes)
HSV-2 usually sets up residence in the sacral ganglion at the base of the spine. From there, it recurs in the genital area .so it is called as genital herpes.

It affects......
In men, painful,erythematous, vesicular lesions that ulcerate most commonly occur on the penis, but they can also occur on the anus and the perineum
women - presents as vesicular/ulcerated lesions on the cervix and as painful vesicles on the external genitalia bilaterally. They can also occur on the vagina, the perineum, the buttocks, and, at times, the legs in a sacral nerve distribution.
Associated symptoms include fever, malaise, edema, inguinal lymphadenopathy, dysuria, and vaginal or penile discharge.

I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about four years ago, when I was still attending college and had a dumb one-night stand. I realize lots of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/bPdE5 everything got better.

Not only was I able to eliminate all remnants of the herpes simplex virus from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This system gave me back the chance to be happy and experience true love again. Now I want to help others too by sharing this story.

Herpes attacks the central nervous system and that has never enedings reaching everywhere from the sexual organs to your mouth and eyes.
Their isolated unless moves from sporing areas...so the best remedy is no alcohol, no stress and easy living.

They usually appear on the genital area. This means the penis, labia, and around your bottom.
