What is HSV?

Herpes (HSV) is a virus that causes sores in the genitals and/or mouth. It is a common infection that stays in the body for life if no proper treatment is received. HSV is the result of two different but similar viruses: herpes type 1 (HSV1) and herpes type 2 (HSV2). Both types can cause sores around the genitals, mouth, throat, and rarely eyes.

HSV spreads through skin contact with infected areas and causes outbreaks of painful, itchy blisters or sores that appear and disappear. Moreover, many people with HSV do not notice the symptoms because they cannot feel or see them, or the symptoms might be very mild.

Sometimes people confuse the HSV symptoms with other diseases, such as the flu. Symptoms might come and go; however, having no symptoms does not mean that the infection has cured or cannot be infectious. HSV can infect others even if there are no sores or symptoms.
