Sexually Transmitted Infections: Genital Herpes Genital Herpes Introduction:
There are 2 types of herpes simplex viruses (HSV). Type I (HSV I) usually appears as cold sores or fever blisters on the lips, face & mouth. Type II (HSV II) most often involves sores on the genital area. Both types can occur, however, in the genitals, mouth or both. Most people get oral herpes during childhood by a simple kiss from a friend or family member. Genital herpes can be contracted when someone with oral herpes (often a cold sore) performs oral sex on someone else without using a latex barrier. People with herpes
need to learn about safer sex practices to reduce the chances of transmitting the infection to a sex partner.
