Herpes is a broad term that covers any syndrome caused by the Herpes Simplex virus. There is far too much information to discuss it here, free of charge, but I will say that you are most likely thinking of genital herpes, which is usually caused by HSV-2, a strain of herpes simplex.
"outbreaks" as they are called, have symptoms of small, painless, fluid filled sacs around genitals that eventually burst and start to heal over. they are sometimes very painful when they break open.
It's important to use protection everytime you have sex if you have herpes, as it can be easily transmitted to partner.

I got identified with herpes (type 2) about seven years ago, while I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I understand loads of young ladies will say this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone who has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/TOMG6 everything improved.
Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the hsv from my system in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the whole World.

When a person says "herpes" they are usually referring to either cold sores (herpes sores on the mouth and lips) or genital herpes (herpes sores on the genital area). There is NO cure for herpes, so once a person has it they have it for life. There is medication to help prevent outbreaks and to help shorten the time of the outbreak but there is no cure. Herpes can be spread whether a person is having an outbreak or not.
Cold sores are usually caused by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1), but can also be caused by herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2). Cold sores are usually spread by just kissing someone who has them. They can also be passed by sharing a drink with someone who has them, sharing lipstick, chap stick and even a cigarette. About 75 - 80% of the world has cold sores, so it is VERY common.
Genital herpes is usually caused by HSV2, but can also be caused by HSV1. Genital herpes is almost always spread by some sort of sexual contact. It can be spread by sex (vaginal, oral and anal) and by DIRECT skin to skin contact with the infected area (like "dry humping"). If a person has cold sores and gives another person oral sex it can cause the person receiving to develop genital herpes. And, if a person gives another person oral sex who has genital herpes it can cause the person giving to develop cold sores. Genital herpes can also be spread to a baby during childbirth if the mother has the virus. This is REALLY rare though. About 1 in 4 women have genital herpes and about 1 in 5 men have it.

herpes is confusing to a lot of doctors. they insist it is what they think it is, even if the tests are wrong.
this summer, at camp, i had this sharp feeling if i didn't touch it in my pubic area. i looked at it one day and there was 2 little pimpley like whiteheads, then the next day they were small red dots.
More started to appear and i thought it was poison ivy.
The nurse took a look and took me to a doctor who said it was herpes. It hurt so bad i cried a lot, especially because im not sexually active. At all. But i thought i got it again, and a new doctor said that my nurse and old doctor were wrong and its not herpes. I trusted her because she was more experienced, and after some adviced mousterizing [i had it on my genitals and around butthole] its gone.
