What are Herpes?

Question

On John Tucker Must Die it mentioned Herpes so I have been dieing ti know what it is

Answer 1

Herpes and genital warts are NOT the same thing.

Herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus. Genital warts are caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus).

There are 8 different kinds of herpes simplex virus. The most common ones are herpes simplex virus 1 and herpes simplex virus 2. BOTH herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 are responsible for cold sores (oral herpes) and genital herpes. Usually cold sores are caused by herpes simplex virus 1, while genital herpes are caused by herpes simplex virus 2. Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 can cause large sores on the mouth/lip area or the genital area. These sores are very painful and can take days or even weeks to heal. There are antiviral medications to help with herpes outbreaks, but there is NO cure. Once a person has herpes, they will always have the virus.

Answer 4

I got identified with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 3 years ago, whilst I was still attending college and had a foolish 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 mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date other men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/v5wB1 everything changed.

Not only was I able to clear away all remnants of the hsv from my system in less than 21 days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so lucky 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 program gave me back the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

Answer 5

It's a viral infection. There is no cure for it. Sex isn't the only way you can get it. It can be passed other ways. There are two different kinds of herpes. Herpes Simplex Type 1, which is oral and Herpes Simplex Type 2, which is the genital area. You should study up on it. It's pretty scary stuff. My health instructor said 1 in 5 adults have Simplex 2.

Answer 6

No, herpes are not genital warts. Herpes is the HSV virus, genital warts are the HPV virus.
Not the same......

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first outbreak. Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease over a period of years.

Answer 7

The primary difference between the two types of herpes virus is in where they typically establish latency in the body - their "site of preference."
HSV-1 usually establishes latency in the trigeminal ganglion, a collection of nerve cells near the ear. From there, it tends to recur on the lower lip or face.

HSV-2 usually establishes latency in the sacral ganglion at the base of the spine. From there, it recurs in the genital area.

Answer 8

It's an std that takes the form of a virus which leaves sores. It's in the same family as the chicken pox and cold sores. Thankfully I've never see herpes but yeah, it some sort of bumps in the genital area.

Answer 9

It means a deep feeling of profound love and gratitude. It's like saying you have strong feelings of warmth, but in a very unpretentious way. Possible suitors often take this word at face value and therefore if you are are interested in a comely member of the opposite sex, if you tap them on the shoulder and boldly proclaim "I have herpes!" they will respect your forthcomingness and see your inner light and forever be your admirer.
Try it!
