Before considering the symptoms of herpes, it?s important to make a distinction about what herpes actually is. The term ?herpes? is often used as a shorthand reference for the outbreaks -- typically the outbreaks that appear in the genital area -- caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus. The Herpes Simplex Virus comes in two forms: Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV 1) and Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV 2).

HSV 1 is the more typical of the two forms of the Herpes Simplex Virus, and is remarkably common: it?s thought that up to 90% of adults are infected with HSV 1. When HSV 1 infection produces symptoms, these symptoms most often appear about the mouth, though they may appear on other parts of the upper body as well. Because of the likelihood that symptoms will appear around the mouth, HSV 1 infection is often referred to as oral herpes.

HSV 2 is thought to occur in roughly 1 in 5, or 20%, of adults. When HSV 2 infection produces symptoms, these symptoms most often appear in the genital area, though symptoms can appear on other body areas just below the waist as well. Because of the tendency for HSV 2 symptoms to appear in the genital area, HSV 2 infection is often referred to as genital herpes.

Note that HSV 1 can infect the genitals, and HSV 2 can infect the area around the mouth. While the two strains of the Herpes Simplex Virus show symptoms most often in one particular body area or another, and tend to be most effective within that particular area, they are not absolutely confined.

Though HSV 1 and HSV 2 represent different virus strains, when either shows symptoms the symptoms are usually very similar. The most common symptom of HSV is no symptom at all: HSV infection typically does not produce recognizable physical symptoms. In this respect, HSV infection is usually a ?silent? condition. When HSV infection does produce symptoms, these symptoms can vary from person to person, but tend to appear in a cycle: discomfort or tingling or even a burning sensation in the affected area, followed by the appearance of a blister or cluster of blisters that fill with fluid and break, then scab over and heal. Without treatment, HSV symptoms will run their course within two weeks or so. Symptoms typically clear considerably faster than this when effective treatment is used.

Genital Herpes - A Bad Rap?

I?m going to defend genital herpes. Who?s with me?!

Don?t everyone volunteer at once.

Speaking up for an STD isn?t likely to generate you many cocktail party invites, I grant you. But defending genital herpes just might be worth the risk. So what, in fact, is genital herpes? As previously stated, genital herpes is an STD: a Sexually Transmitted Disease. Genital herpes is typically caused by a variation of the herpes virus known as Herpes Simplex Virus 2, or HSV 2. Roughly 1 in 5 -- or 20% -- of the US adult population has genital herpes, and the number of new cases is increasing.

So genital herpes is spread through sexual activity: usually unprotected sexual activity. This makes genital herpes bad, right? A moral punishment? Consider this scenario: A woman who?s been married for several years suddenly has some sort of genital outbreak. She goes to her doctor and is diagnosed with genital herpes. Emotionally devastated, the woman furiously accuses her husband of infidelity, and with just as much passion, he denies it. Unbeknownst to the husband, he does in fact have genital herpes and did in fact pass the infection on to his wife. How did this happen? It turns out the husband contracted genital herpes from his former wife, who herself didn?t realize that she was infected. So who in this story is the ?guilty? one? Who behaved immorally? Does this scenario seem far-fetched? Do you think something like this could never actually happen?

Not only can it happen, it does happen. Genital herpes is sometimes referred to as a ?silent? condition, because most afflicted people don?t realize they have it. In fact, up to 80% of people with genital herpes don?t know that they have genital herpes. Consider for a moment what that would mean: only 2 of every 10 people with genital herpes would know that they?re infected. How could someone with genital herpes not be aware of their status? Because most people with genital herpes don?t show symptoms; or, at the very least, don?t show symptoms that they recognize as so clearly unusual that they seek medical treatment. Genital herpes isn?t like some other STDs, where the norm is for obvious symptoms to appear within a number of days after infection. Genital herpes infection typically never leads to obvious symptoms -- or obvious symptoms can literally appear years after infection took place.

So since genital herpes is a ?silent? condition, it may not always be a badge of dishonor after all. Any other reason we should spare genital herpes our collective condemnation? How about since it doesn?t cause any serious health problems? (People with immune system deficiencies are sometimes an exception, as are infants.) Or that it doesn?t cause long-term damage to the reproductive organs? Or that it doesn?t require any sort of medical treatment? Or that when symptoms do appear, they typically lessen in severity and frequency over time, without any outside intervention at all? Or that when someone with genital herpes does decide to seek treatment, there are a number of highly effective treatments available? Or that people with genital herpes don?t become re-infected with the genital herpes virus?

Let me stop here and offer a qualifier: I am not saying that genital herpes is a good thing. Genital herpes can be painful, inconvenient, and emotionally difficult to deal with. Additionally, should an infant become infected with genital herpes from its mother during birth, the condition is considered very serious. An attempt should be made to avoid all STDs, under the knowledge that abstinence is the only sure way not to get an STD, with condom use being an extremely important second option.

What I?m trying to get across is that genital herpes isn?t some debilitating, shameful curse brought down on sexual deviants. Genital herpes is a condition caused by a virus, a virus that?s been around a long time and one that millions of people have. Like any other virus, genital herpes doesn?t make judgments about a person?s character, doesn?t do a background check before taking up residence. All things considered, in the world of infections transmitted by sex, someone could do a lot worse than to contract genital herpes. A whole lot worse.

How to Deal with Herpes Rejection

He or She Just Aint That Into You.

If you have herpes and have the integrity to tell someone about it before you get sexually involved and they reject you because of it, it is one of the most devastating forms of rejection imaginable. Just as bad as being rejected because of your race, or physical disability or anything else not under your control, and just as ignorant and intolerable.

When the people I treat tell me their rejection stories I feel for them. Some are so shaken by it that they stop dating for years or ghettoize themselves to only dating others with herpes.

What I say to them is that "He or She was Just not that into You". No one who really wants a person, and I do mean want the person, the whole person and the package that comes with them, will reject them just because they have herpes. Who would want that kind of superficial love anyways?

Herpes is a great litmus test to let you know who really cares about you and desires you.

It reasonable for someone to want the risks and consequences explained to them. It's reasonable for someone not to be enthusiastic about you having herpes- who would be? But anyone who really loved or or though you were sexy before finding out about your herpes will still think so afterwards.

When you further explain to them that you are managing your herpes with herbal medicine or drug therapy and that you practice safer sex with a condom and an anti-viral gel there should be no reason for them not to want to sex you up right then and there.

What it all comes to is fear. Do not be afraid of being rejected because of having herpes.

Dear member of the Herpes Nation: Hold you head up high. Remember who you are. How special you are. How deserving you are of love and all it's fruits. Don't let anyone diss you or make you feel less than. Anyone who wants you must accept the whole package of your life. Don't settle for anything less than that.

If you've been rejected or made to feel less than. Remember that although you cannot control what happens to you in this life you can control how you choose to react to whatever happens. You are still a prize and whoever is fortunate enough to be in your life is blessed.
