Unprotected sexual contact, whether vaginal, anal or oral, can lead to a sexually transmitted infection. Genital herpes is among the most prevalent and highly contagious sexually transmitted infections. It is caused by herpes simplex virus, the same virus that causes cold sores. Genital herpes is different because it's contracted primarily through the HSV-2 strain, while the HSV-1 strain is mostly responsible for cold sores.
Genital herpes affects everyone differently, but it can be an unsightly and extremely uncomfortable condition. Some people may experience painful symptoms like itchy red sores and fluid blisters several times a year, while others may not experience any symptoms for months or years.
There is no permanent cure for genital herpes. However, genital herpes can be treated and managed with timely medical intervention. Genital herpes treatment can also push the virus into a dormant state and reduce the effects of an outbreak. There are a variety of genital herpes treatments available, including aciclovir, Valtrex and Famvir.
The powerful anti-viral treatment, Famvir is designed to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms and improve recovery time. Famvir can make it easier to live with genital herpes, cold sores and shingles.

View Price & Select TreatmentUnprotected sexual intercourse is the most common way herpes is transmitted from one person to another. It is spread through touch, meaning it can be contracted by coming into contact with anyone who has an outbreak. However, you do not necessarily need to have unprotected penetrative sex in order to catch the HSV-2 virus. Symptoms aren't always visible. It can be transmitted through oral sex or by coming into contact with the genitals of someone with active symptoms.
Symptoms of genital herpes include skin ulcers and painful red blisters on the rectum, anus, thighs and genital area and may last for up to 20 days.
The most severe outbreak usually occurs first. Symptoms become less painful during later outbreaks, featuring red blisters, tingling or burning sensation around the genitals or ulceration. When the virus is active and on the surface of the skin, genital herpes is going through the 'shedding phase'. This is when symptoms are not usually visible, but can be passed via skin-to-skin contact.
There is no known cure for genital herpes. However, the virus does remain dormant most of the time. What causes the virus to be active and trigger an outbreak is not clearly known. Research points to excessive alcohol consumption, exposing the genital to direct sunlight, friction around the genital area, fatigue, stress and tiredness as potential causes of an outbreak.
