Defined Tag: Herpes Simplex 1.

There are two types of the herpes simplex virus. They are type 1 and type 2.

The Herpes simplex 1 virus is usually associated with facial infections including those around the eyes, lips the general facial area and inside and around the mouth. It is very infectious and can be transmitted to other people via infected saliva and touch.

However even though the herpes simplex 1 virus is usually found on the face and inside the mouth, it can in some cases also be found on the genital area and can be transmitted sexually. It then becomes a sexually transmitted disease.

There is no cure for herpes simplex 1 virus but there are some extremely effective treatments for the symptoms that arise from the infection. It is important that any herpes simplex 1 virus is treated as soon as symptoms become apparent, or at least within the first 24-48 hours. If treatment is not given early enough, then the effectiveness of the treatment is reduced and the symptoms remain for a longer period of time.

Cold sores are a classic example of the herpes simplex 1 virus. As in any other case of herpes infection the first cold sore is usually the worst one. People may complain of an accompanying headache and the mouth and lips can become very sore and painful, Cold sores are highly contagious and can be transmitted very easily from person to person. Once the person is infected with the herpes simplex 1 virus, it settles into the person's body and the person will then complain of intermittent outbreaks. Hopefully unless the person's immune system is surpressed in some way, subsequent infections should not be as bad as the first one.

For many people the sores blisters and lesions heal within a few days or weeks leaving minimal scarring to the body. However for those with a suppressed immune system, such as those who are HIV positive or receiving specific medical treatment which lowers their immune system the virus can have much more severe effects, with the threat of potential scarring from deep viscous lesions and infected blisters. There can also be for these people a very real threat of residual post herpetic pain
