Description
HSV-1 Oral herpes can result in cold sores or fever blisters on or around the mouth. However, most people with oral herpes do not have any symptoms. Most people with oral herpes get it during childhood or young adulthood from non-sexual contact with saliva.
HSV-2 Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection that is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) — the same type of virus that causes cold sores.
As many as 1 in 8 sexually active Australian adults have genital herpes.
Genital herpes can cause outbreaks of blisters or sores on the genitals and anus.
Once infected, you may or may not have episodes of symptoms throughout your life
