What is Herpes infection?

Genital herpes is caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2. It spreads through skin-to-skin contact during sex and often begins with flu-like symptoms followed by painful sores or blisters. Some people have mild or no symptoms. After the first outbreak, the virus stays in the body and may cause future flare-ups, especially during times of stress or illness.

What Are the Symptoms of a Herpes infection?

Symptoms vary but often include:

Pain when urinating

Painful blisters or sores on the genitals, anus, or thighs

Tingling, itching, or burning in the genital area
