Also, herpes and HPV are NOT the same virus! People seem to always confuse these two viruses! They are completely different and have nothing to do with each other.

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/treatmentsherpes2015h3Qx
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.

Herpes is led to via a plague. unquestionably, there is little treatment for viruses in recent times. the only element which you would be able to oftentimes do contained while it comes to a viral an infection is develop the immune gadget and need it fights it off. no longer with Herpes, the immune gadget won't be in a position to win against it. as a consequence you purely get to handle the indicators. as quickly as you're contaminated, it keeps to be with you for existence.

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.

There are two types of herpes simplex viruses: type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Herpes viruses can be found in and released from the sores that the viruses cause, but virus also can be released between outbreaks from normal-appearing skin. Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. A person almost always gets HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection Many people infected with the herpes virus do not know they are infected and may not have a visible sore.

But if you want to know how many strains of HPV (the virus that causes herpes).There are actually more than 100 different strains of HPV. Of these, approximately 30 exist in the genital area and can cause genital warts (condyloma acuminata). These 30 strains can be further broken down to "high" and "low" risk strains.http://health.rutgers.edu/hpv/

Herpes is a contagious infection that's caused by the herpes simplex virus. One type of the virus - herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) - can lead to cold sores around the mouth. An infection of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2) can lead to genital herpes, a sexually transmitted disease that causes blisters and pain in the genital area.
Both types of the virus can be transmitted through direct contact. A person can get the cold sores of HSV1 by kissing or sharing eating utensils with an infected person. A person can get genital herpes or HSV2 by having intimate contact with an infected person. A mother who has genital herpes can pass the infection on to her newborn if she delivers the baby vaginally
