Answer 1

The term "the herpes" generally refers to a sexually-transmitted, double-stranded DNA virus, called herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 2 (also known as human herpesvirus 2, or HHV2). This virus is closely related to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1 or HHV1), which is the cause of common nonsexually-transmitted cold sores. These two viruses are among the eight members of the herpes virus family to infect humans, causing a variety of illnesses ranging from cold sores to brain infection (encephalitis) to chickenpox to various cancers.

HSV-1 and HSV-2 are members of the Alphaherpesvirus subfamily. HSV-1 (usually the cause of oral herpes which many people call "cold sores") can also be spread to the genitals via oral sex. HSV-2 (usually the cause of genital herpes) can also be spread to the oral region, although this is somewhat less common. For most people who carry the HSV-1 and/or HSV-2 virus, symptoms are mild, infrequent, or altogether un-noticeable. However, people who carry the virus may still shed the virus from their skin when no symptoms are present, and unknowingly transmit the virus to their partners. This is called "asymptomatic shedding." In one study, approximately 70% of new cases of genital herpes were the result of intimate contact with a partner who had no signs or symptoms at the time.

According to the American Social Health Association (ASHA): - About 50 to 80 percent of American adults have oral herpes, which is commonly called cold sores or fever blisters. - About one in five adults in the United States has genital herpes. However, most people (up to 90%) don’t know they are infected because their symptoms are too mild to notice or mistaken for another condition.

Also, most doctors in the US do not include a herpes blood test in their routine STD screens. You must ask for it specifically or else the test is not done. Therefore, many people assume that after they see their doctor for routine STD testing, that they are "clean" and don't have the herpes, when in fact, they were never tested for herpes in the first place, and may carry and spread the virus even if they don't have any symptoms.

For a list of ASHA recommended, very accurate, type-specific herpes blood tests, go to: http://www.ashastd.org/pdfs/blood_test.pdf.

Herpes simplex 1 and 2 viruses are similar in that they are both transmitted by direct contact and can sometimes cause intensely painful fluid-filled blisters, containing millions of infectious virus particles. The primary difference between the two infections is the principal site of infection--mucous membranes of the lips and nearby oro-facial skin for HSV-1 or the genital skin for HSV-2. After initial infection, these viruses both travel to sensory nerves, where they reside as life-long, latent viruses. HSV-1 often infects the trigeminal ganglia that provides sensation to the lips, lower mouth and neck; while HSV-2 often infects the sacral ganglia supplying sensation to the pelvic area including the genitals, perineum and upper legs. When the viruses reactivate to cause symptomatic disease, they travel back to their respective skin areas served by these nerves, leading to the different (oral vs. genital) distributions of cold sores.

Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 are transmitted by contact with a herpetic sore (kissing, touching, and possibly from objects such as shared drinking glasses[citation needed]). Transmission of these two viruses can be more complicated in that both HSV-1 and HSV-2 are shed (to a much lesser extent) from persons without active sores.

While both oral and genital herpes are characteristically "nuisance infections" that are not life-threatening, they can cause rare severe or fatal disease if they disseminate to the eyes or brain. This is a particular concern for newborns who might be infected by genital herpes during passage through the birth canal (the risk of this occurring is by far higher when the mother is newly infected with HSV-2 just prior to birth and lacks protective antibodies that would otherwise reduce viable virus shedding). Both oral and genital herpes infections have periods of active cold sore disease lasting 2-10 days and then remission when the cold sores disappear. Over time, periods of remission generally increase in length, and the duration of cold sores decrease, until the person rarely has active disease. This is regulated by specific immunity developed by the patient against the virus. The virus infection is, however, life-long and can be retriggered in some individuals by specific events, such as sunburn, stress or other infections.

I know the feelings of helplessness, isolation and real longing to be rid of herpes. I really didn’t think I would ever be rid of the virus. I thought that I would have to live the rest of my life without any lasting intimacy.
I was lost in a sea of despair. This was because my doctor told me that I would need to be on drugs for the rest of my life. He also said to forget about ever having sex with anyone ever again. After hearing this I was very angry. There had to be something I could do. So I decided to see if I could find another way to deal with my herpes.

After a lot of research I decided to read Sarah Wicox's book "Get Rid of Herpes" ( also available in electronic format here: http://herpestreatment.kyma.info )

The book details a unique method of actually killing viral pathogens responsible for the herpes virus as well as a quick and natural method for healing herpes blisters. After reading the book and taking action in just two days the blisters were gone. I haven't had an outbreak in 2 years.
Modern medicine is mostly all about maintenance of the disease because big pharmaceutical companies are calling the shots. Hooking people on pharmaceuticals means recurring money the big drug companies. They, in turn, pay the doctors to keep writing prescriptions, Don’t look for a real help here.

I got clinically diagnosed with genital herpes (type 2) about four yrs ago, whilst I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I know a lot of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed 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 other men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/dMihb everything changed.

Not only was I able to remove all traces of the hsv from my body 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 lucky to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others by sharing this story.

If he has actually been diagnosed with Herpes for these symptoms, he should be on Valtrex. That will go a long ways to suppress further outbreaks. Lysine will help as well.

Once the virus infects a given area of the body, after remission it hides out in the basal ganglia of the nerve cells that go to that area of the body. New outbreaks then travel from those locations back out to the surface and the outbreak appears in the same locations as before. So if he gets more outbreaks, they wil mostly be in the same locations, yes.
