What are Genital Herpes?
Genital Herpes are very painful spots around the male or female genitals or inside the vagina. The pain may be so bad that the person finds it difficult to pass urine. The spots look similar to “cold sores” that people get around the mouth.
Although it is possible for genital herpes to spread the cold sore virus to the genitals, Genital Herpes is caused by a different type of virus spread through sexual contact.
Genital Herpes are It’s usually obvious from the appearance of the spots, but the virus can be detected by taking a swab from these blisters.

Anti-viral treatments (tablets, cream or ointment) used early, can make the condition less severe, and more manageable but there is no cure.
Once caught the virus remains inside the body forever. It may come back (recur) and the person needs to know about this so they can receive treatment as soon as possible in each future occurrence.
