What is Genital Herpes?

Genital herpes is a contagious disease caused by a Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). There are two types of HSV (HSV-1 and HSV-2), but most cases of genital herpes are caused by HSV-2.

Unlike cases of oral herpes where HSV-1 causes sores around the lips and mouth, genital herpes causes sores around the genital and/or rectal areas.

The CDC estimates that about 1 in 8 Americans, ages 14–49, are infected with genital herpes.

How does it spread?

Genital herpes is highly contagious and is primarily spread by genital contact during sexual activity.

How can you tell if you have Genital Herpes?

The only way to definitively know if you have genital herpes is to receive a proper medical diagnosis.

Symptoms can begin within 2-12 days after exposure to the virus, but they also may not occur at all.

In the case where no symptoms are present, the person is still a carrier of the virus and can spread genital herpes to others.

Genital Herpes Symptoms

  • Genital pain or tenderness
  • Itching
  • Small white blisters or red bumps on the genitals or rectum
  • Ulcers (open sores that may bleed or ooze)
  • Pain during urination (possibly due to ulcers)
  • Scabs/crusty areas

Genital Herpes Treatments

Although there is no cure for genital herpes, there are several antiviral medications available that have been used to reduce the frequency and duration of outbreaks.

These medications also lessen the severity of the symptoms as well as reduce the risk of transmission to others.

The most common antiviral medication is Valacyclovir (generic Valtrex).

Valacyclovir

Valacyclovir is the generic form of the brand Valtrex®. Both medications work similarly in the body.

Valacyclovir is used to treat herpes virus infections, including herpes labialis (also known as cold sores), herpes zoster (also known as shingles), and herpes simplex (also known as genital herpes).
