is herpes life treating?

Question

what would be the implications of having herpes

Answer 1

No, genital herpes is not fatal and does NOT cause any long term health problems or damage like other STDs can.

The outbreaks can be extremely painful, irritating, and annoying, but they heal!

The only time herpes can be fatal is if a newborn is born with it. Babies can contract the virus from the mother if she has an outbreak during delivery. This is REALLY rare though. I've read chances of a baby being born to a mother with herpes is less than 1%. If a baby is born with herpes though, there is a 25% chance it will be fatal.

I've had genital herpes for over 6 years now. I've had about 4 or 5 outbreaks during those six years (most of which were in the first few years). I've been outbreak free for 2 years now. When I'm not having an outbreak I live a perfectly happy normal life.

Yes, there isn't any. Herpes is caused by a virus. Actually, there is little cure for viruses nowadays. The only thing that you can generally do in the case of a viral infection is strengthen the immune system and hope it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune system can't win against it. Thus you only get to treat the symptoms. Once you're infected, it stays with you for life. So don't get infected.

Personal experience. I have had genital herpes for over 5 years.

Here is some background info on the virus:

Herpes virus is a very common viral infection, as well as a type of sexually transmitted disease. In the United States alone, it is believed that herpes is present in over 50% of the adult population. It is estimated that approximately half a million Americans contract this disease every year, and the number is still growing. A large part of the increase can be traced to be coming from teenagers.

There are two types of herpes: oral herpes which are the all to familiar cold sores found in the mouth, and genital herpes which is basically the same type of sore, but found on the genital area.

There are two types of viruses that cause herpes. They are herpes simplex type 1, and herpes simplex type 2, or simply HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both viruses are very similar in that each of them may affect either the mouth, or the genitals. However, the great majority of time it is type 1 that affects the mouth, and type 2 that affects the genitals.

The herpes virus, just like the HIV virus that causes AIDS, attacks the body's immune system. In this case, the body is capable of fighting off the herpes virus, but sacrifices a piece of its immune system in doing so. This weakening of the body's immune system makes the body more susceptible to the attacks of some other viruses.

There is no absolute cure for herpes. It is extremely important that the people who have it control it from spreading throughout the body. In order to do this, the body's immune system must be reinforced. This can be done only through the use of medication.

People infected with the herpes virus know they will experience outbreaks from time to time. These outbreaks will cause skin rashes and sores to form on the skin, located either on the mouth, or the genitals. These sores will heal in time, only to return at a later date. It is estimated that someone suffering from the herpes virus will have approximately 5 outbreaks per year.

The sores themselves may feel itchy and produce a burning sensation. Those affected may also experience headaches, fever, and muscle aches, almost as if they were coming down with the flu. Urinating may also become painful.

Fortunately, in pregnant women, herpes has a very low risk of being transferred to a baby. Many times they can even give birth vaginally, although this will be the decision of your doctor.

Should a baby be unfortunate enough to acquire this disease, chances are that it will be a fatal condition. It is the treatment process that causes the danger. Permanent damages may occur such as mental retardation, neurological damage, and even death. If you know you are pregnant, and you know with some certainty that you have herpes, consult immediately with your physician. Herpes itself may not affect your pregnancy, but your prescribed medications possibly could.

People with herpes, or any other viral disease, are strongly advised to eat foods rich in lysine, but low in arginine. Some examples would be margarine, yogurt, cheese, papaya, and milk. Herpes can be a serious medical condition, but with accurate information, a positive outlook, and professional medical care, you can overcome this problem.

Answer 7

I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about six years ago, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences 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 that has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this video everything changed https://tr.im/TreatmentsHERPES2o15OobY

Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the hsv from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams. This method provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the whole World.

Answer 9

No. Herpes is nothing but a type of Cold Sores. A very minor problem but a nuisance at times.

You cannot catch Herpes from Cold Sores as they are the same family but cannot cross infect.

Most people have the Herpes virus but only some get outbreaks.

In most cases it burns itself out and only returns in times of great stress or very poor health.

Don't let Herpes worry you. It is VERY minor.

Answer 10

Its a miserable- painful- life changing disease, but ONLY when u have an outbreak. Other than that, its like normal everyday life.
