Genital Herpes Facts
The Sexually Transmitted Disease Genital herpes (to creep) is very
common in most Americans especially adolescents. Genital herpes is
transmitted through sexual contact and other physical contact with an
infected person. Herpes is a viral infection caused by the Herpes
Simplex Virus. Once a person is infected with the virus it stays in
their body for life. Once you have contracted this virus it is easy
to pass it on to someone else even if the virus is not active. The
virus remains in certain nerve cells of the body forever, which can
produce symptoms on and off in infected individuals. Herpes is spread
through direct contact. A Genital Herpes infection will stay in the
area it originated unless transferred elsewhere via direct contact or
skin-to-skin contact. The herpes virus does not just show up on the
body, it is important to avoid skin-to-skin contact with the infected
areas. If the herpes infection is not localized, further
complications will occur. Herpes is equally common among males and
females in the United States, but the rise is among the youth and
adolescents ranging from ages 12 and older.
There are two types of Herpes Simplex Virus. Both types can cause
genital herpes and oral herpes. Herpes Simplex Virus I (HSV) is one
of the most common forms of herpes simplex affecting more than 80% of
the population. It’s referred to as oral herpes, fever blisters or
clod sores that are formed around the mouth and on the face. Research
has shown that 50-80% of all Americans carry the antibodies of HSV I.
The second type is Herpes Simplex Virus II, which is the most usual
cause of genital he...

antiviral medications that are used to shorten outbreaks. There are
many different types of medications that can be used like Valtrex is
the number one used medication for genital herpes. A physician can
only prescribe these medications. Daily suppressive therapy for
symptomatic herpes can also be used also. FAMVIR tablets are used as
well to prevent outbreaks form occurring often and many others use
herbal medications.
Genital herpes has become one of the most common viral infections
affecting the social and economic class.
Genital herpes is a very serious and dangerous virus that is
contracted and passed along by a careless person. Even with treatments
this virus can still be passed along. To prevent this from happening

...ies on other programs for it to continue to spread and often times the same program can be hit by the same virus several times. Cracking these codes and viruses is much harder to figure out. It’s almost like these virus writers make it a puzzle to solve before you can actually disband the virus itself. Even when the code is cracked and disassembled, writers normally just rewrite that code to do the exact same thing again.
Herpes Simplex is a common virus that causes infection in humans. This virus is spread in both humans and animals. However, humans are the primary reservoirs for HSV and are the only ones that experience any symptoms. There are two types of Herpes Simplex known as HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 primarily causes oral herpes while HSV-2 causes genital herpes.1 This virus is easily contracted and often during one’s childhood. Unfortunately, this virus is latent and reoccurs every so often, more so during times of stress. Herpes Simplex is a mild infection for most, however, this virus can lead to many serious complications.
There are a number of viruses that effect the human population. Herpes is one of these viruses that are quite common throughout the world. Herpes is highly contagious infection cause by two types of viruses. These two types of viruses are known as HSV- type 1 and HSV- type 2.
...ving things carry viruses in their cells. Even fungi and bacteria and inhabited by viruses and are occasionally destroyed by them. A virus makes copies of itself in a cell until eventually the cell gets pigged with virus and pops and the viruses spill out of the broken cell. If enough cells are destroyed, such as they do in the case of Ebola, the host dies. A virus does not "want" to kill its host. That is not in the best interest of the virus, because then the virus may also die, unless it can jump fast enough out of the dying host into a new host.
Few people are able to clear the virus from their blood, which is necessary, to be
This virus searches for a new vulnerable host in order to survive and carry the disease to the next victim. The critical aspect around the spread of a virus is how drastically the reproduction process occurs. Without being controlled, the contamination throughout any species causes the spread to take place in a toxic way, “On day one, there were two people. And then, four, and then, sixteen. In three months, it’s a billion.
Reasons for this are the lack of information about the virus and how it is spread, lack of resources to obtain the vaccine, inexperience with or inability to isolate infected patients, the extended incubation period, and the host’s inability to recognize their illness even when symptoms do appear.

Today it is no longer a novelty to hear that teenagers are having sex. However, while this “bedroom” activity may be fun, there are now ample reports indicating that rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in teenagers have skyrocketed. Current data reveal that nearly 25% of adolescent girls who have sex are infected with one of the four commonly sexually transmitted infections-namely gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes and HIV (Kann et al, 2015). Nationally, the prevalence of STDs account for 50% of cases in people under the age of 25. While every ethnic and race has been known to be affected, African American youth are disproportionately affected. These data are not a surprise to professionals who are engaged in adolescent sexual health because the numbers have been slowly creeping up over the decades, despite national educational policies to counter the threat of STDs (Sales & DiClemente, 2016). All the STDs have a significant impact on sexual and reproductive health, if they are mot promptly diagnosed and treated. Although many preventive strategies have been implemented in all communities, the rates of STDs are still increasing (Madkour et al, 2016).
Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sexually Transmitted Diseases STDs, a.k.a venereal diseases, infectious diseases passed from one person to another during sexual contact. STDs are the most common infections known. More than 12 million people in the United States, including 3 million teenagers, are infected with STDs every year. The United States has the highest STD rate in the world about one in ten Americans will contract an STD during his or her lifetime. People who do not know they are infected risk infecting their sexual partners and, in some cases, their unborn children. If left untreated, these diseases may cause pain or may destroy a woman's ability to have children. Some STDs can be cured with a single dose of antibiotics, but AIDS cannot be cured. Those most at risk for contracting STDs are people who have unprotected sex—without using a condom, people who have multiple partners, and people whose sex partners are drug users who share needles. Static’s show that Americans between the ages of 16 and 24 are most likely of catching STDs than older adults, because younger people usually have multiple sexual partners than an older person in a long-term relationship. Teenagers may be embarrassed to tell their sexual partners they are infected Teenagers may also be embarrassed or unable to seek medical attention for STDs. This means that they only more likely to pass the disease to other young people and have a greater risk of suffering the long-term consequences of untreated STDs. STDs are transmitted by infectious bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and single-celled organisms called protozoa that live in warm, moist parts of the body, like the genital area, mouth, and throat. Most STDs are spread while having sex, but oral sex can also spread disease. Some STDs are passed from a mother to her child while pregnant, when the disease enters the baby's bloodstream, during childbirth as the baby passes through the birth canal, or after birth, when the baby drinks infected breast milk. AIDS can be transmitted by blood contact such as open wounds, between people who share infected needles or received through an injection of infected blood. Some people believe that STDs can be transmitted through shaking hands or other casual contact, or through contact with inanimate objects such as clothing or toilet seats, but they can’t. Chlamydeous, is from trachoma is bacterium, is the most commonly transmitted STD in the United States.
Dear Friend, this one’s for you: my story on having genital herpes and how I’ve learned to live my life No one really likes to talk about sex, or what can come from it, pregnancy, std’s. Well that’s what I am here for. If you don’t use safe precautions when you are sexually active, things can get bad fast. Through out my life, I’ve had sexual relations with all the guys I have dated. And I know what you think, it must be a lot, but trust me I can count them all on both my two hands and in reality that is not a lot.
...ng home clients, care should be taken to keep away from any conceivable spread of viruses over the peer to peer system (cornelli, 2002).
for which no cure has yet been created. It is important to know however, that methods are currently available which can prevent the transfer of this virus, and even slow down its malicious effects. before they become fatal. It is equally important to know how to avoid getting the virus and also the symptoms in case you might run across them. They are all a lot.
the virus also needs a way to get rid of your ability to know right from wrong, have memory and to have any feelings which in your brain is called serotonin,tryptophan,amygdala, and acetylcholine. Now we have a human with no feeling of satisfaction , happiness, sadness, or really anything. The human is essentially brain dead.(http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/educational-resources/brain-basics/brain-basics.shtml),(http://www.buzzle.com/articles/chemicals-in-the-brain.html,Mehta Suketu,last update:october 1st,2011.).
