Just about everyone is aware that a male or a female can contact genital herpes from someone who has this sexually transmitted disease. This type of herpes virus is very well known as HSV-2. Recent studies have proven that this herpes virus can also be passed on orally.

Both sets of symptoms are very similar to one another. Blisters and sores can appear on different parts of the body. Although as the name suggests, those who have contacted oral herpes will have signs of the virus on the mouth. While those who have contacted genital herpes will show signs of the disease on the penis of the male, and vagina or cervix of the female. In some cases, the virus may also be inside the urinary tract of both males or females.

Oral herpes will first begin as lesions. Doctors refer to the initial outbreak as the primary episode. These lesions will appear between two to tens days after the start of the infection. These are small red lesions that will mature into blisters, and then turn into full-blown sores.

The infected individual?s gums will become swollen and red. There have been incidents with some patients where their tongues develop a white coating. This condition will last for two to three weeks. After that time, they will dry up, and heal without scaling.

In addition to the obvious physical signs of oral herpes, other symptoms may be finding it difficult to eat, running a fever, feelings of irritability, and muscle pain. The varying symptoms make it very difficult for the doctor to conclusively tell if the patient has oral herpes. It is not until the sores or blisters begin to appear on the face that a final diagnosis of oral herpes can be made.

Oral herpes, just like genital herpes, is passed on while touching, kissing, and during intercourse.

Unfortunately, an infected adult can also unintentionally transmit this to a child with a simple good night kiss. The good news regarding this infection, is that oral herpes can be controlled with the proper medication.

Proper hygiene goes a long way in helping to prevent the spread of oral herpes. People should wash their face regularly, especially the affected area, with soap and water. For someone infected with this disease, it is important to remember not to hold, or even touch an infant, since the immune system of a baby will be unable to fight off this disease.

Oral herpes may last longer than another type of herpes virus. The reason is stress. Those who are not highly stressed individuals can recover in two weeks, while those who have to face the daily pressures of work, or home life, and find doing so to be difficult, will suffer a little while longer.

Anti-viral tablets are the best-known medication to help control oral herpes. Studies have shown that these medications can also help to prevent the disease from recurring.

Some patients are forced to be confined in the hospital, and to undergo IV medication until they recover. This happens only to those patients who are suffering from severe cases of oral herpes, or to infants and young children.

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.
