Genital Herpes Genital herpes is ne of the most a sexually transmitted infection that can cause lesions or sores around the genital area. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also called sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are among the most common infectious diseases in the United States today. (STDs), was also known as Venereal Diseases (VD) named after “Venus, the Roman goodness of love” (Sutton, p. 15). (STDs) are infections that can be spread from one person to another through sexual contact

Herpes is a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) caused by two types of viruses those viruses includes: Herpes simplex type 1 and herpes simplex type 2. Herpes simplex type 1 infects the lips most commonly known as a cold sore. Herpes simplex type 2 is genital Herpes. This sexually transmitted disease affects one out of every six people. The most common age range for a person to contract this virus is 14 to 49 years old. It is hard to self diagnose and can lead to greater susceptibility to HIV. What are

a old misconception Herpes Simplex 1 only infects "above the belt" by manifesting as cold sores. Herpes Type 2 was previously considered "below the belt" and caused genital lesions. However, the medical profession has found oral-genital contact can spread either, so that types of herpes have become virtually insignificant. Let's define herpes. It is very contagious. It is transmitted by bodily fluids. Proper hand washing precautions should be taken to keep the virus from a cold sore from spreading

Genital herpes is a sexual transmitted disease that is caused by herpes simplex virus. It is also called HSV and HSV-antivirals. The herpes simplex virus has two type. People usually call the first type by HSV-1, and the second type by HSV-2. (Medline Plus)The genital herpes used to be caused by HSV-2, but the HSV-1 caused more and more genital herpes cases. (Beigi) The symptoms for genital herpes are different depending on the severity of the disease at the beginning stage. For most of the people

system, which then cannot fight off bacteria, parasites, or cancer cells that are attacking the body. It takes anywhere from three to ten years for a person infected with the HIV virus to develop AIDS. A blood test is the best way to know if one is HIV positive (infected with the HIV virus). Symptoms of the HIV virus show up in the first few months; these include fever, chills, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, swollen glands, and rashes. Symptoms of AIDS are cancer spots on the skin, extreme weight

EBV (Epstein Barr Virus) also known as Gamma herpes Virus – 1, is amongst a large family of approximately 100 herpes virus, 8 of these are known to infect humans. These are Cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus -1 and -2, varicella-zoster virus, human herpes virus 6 (variant A and B), human herpes virus 7, kaposi’s sarcoma (human herpes virus 8) and EBV (gamma Herpes Virus -1). All of these are classified into 3 different subfamilies known as alpha, beta and gamma dependant on the specificity of

the Varicella-Zoster virus. This is the same virus that affects you when you have chicken pox. Varicella-Zoster is not the same virus that causes cold sores or genital herpes, this would be the HSV1, or HSV2 (herpes simplex virus.) HSV1 is associated with cold sores, HSV2 is associated with genital herpes. However, once you have had chicken pox, the virus lays dormant, so later in life the virus can become active. Activated later in life the virus becomes shingles. This virus lays dormant in the nerve

cause encephalitis, by transference via mosquitos to humans and animals. When bitten by an infected mosquito the virus moves from the mosquito into the person’s blood, it then reaches the brain and spinal cord, it multiplies within the central nervous system thus inflaming and damaging nerve cells, this interferes with signals from the brain to the rest of the body. The herpes simplex virus type one can commonly cause encephalitis. HIV has also been noted as an increasing cause of encephalitis. Viral

the best course of action to prevent and cure any ailment. The first course of action to clear the pathogens is to identify what type of microbe it is. In most to virtually all cases, the disease is the result of inflammation of either a bacteria or virus. Other than being microscopic and frequently parasitic, the two categories of microbes vary in many significant ways. Because their morphology and individual

to observe whether or not tripartite motif 5α (TRIM5α) proteins in Old World monkeys (OWM) can reduce replication done by herpes simplex virus (HSV) in human HeLa cells. The premise for this experimentation was that TRIM5α proteins from OWMs was known to block replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other retroviruses. HSV is a human nuclear DNA virus that can replicate in many different species of animal as well as in many different types of cells. It can gain access to different
