Etiology
To start off my paper, I want to make something clear. There are two types of herpes viruses. HSV-1 is the type that usually causes cold sores or fever blisters around your mouth. HSV-2 is the type that commonly causes genital herpes. The virus spreads through sexual contact and skin-to-skin contact. HSV-2 is very common and highly contagious, whether or not you have an open sore (Aurelius, p. 3).
Genital Herpes is more commonly caused by HSV-2 but is known to be caused by HSV-1. Oral Herpes is known to be caused by both variations of the virus but most commonly by HSV-1. Symptoms are similar to Genital Herpes and cases of Facial Herpes. For example, lesions on the cheeks or other area of the face have been recorded, though are a

This sexually transmitted disease is more likely to go from men to women, than women to men. Having multiple sexual partners are raise the risk factors as well. Each sexual partner that is engaged with raises your risk for being exposed to any sexually transmitted disease.
Modes of Transmission
HSV-1 is usually passed from person to person by kissing, or having contact with and infected persons sore. HSV-1 can also spread from the mouth to the genitals during oral sex (fellatio, cunnilingus, analingus). If this happens, the strain can change and become a case of genital herpes. HSV-2 is most often passed by vaginal sex and anal sex. Although, just as HSV-1 can infect the genitals and cause genital herpes, HSV-2 can pass from one person 's genitals to another person 's mouth, resulting in oral herpes (Barnabas, para 3).
HSV-2 cannot survive long on a non-living surface, so there is no real risk of getting it from a surface. Herpes is most commonly spread by direct skin to skin contact. Unlike a flu virus that you can get through the air, herpes spreads by direct contact, that is, directly from the site of infection to the site of contact. For example, if you have a cold sore and kiss someone, you can transfer the virus to their mouth. Similarly, if you have active genital herpes and have vaginal or anal intercourse, you can give your partner genital herpes. Finally, if you have

The spread of herpes may be attributed to a variety of activities ranging from touching and kissing to more intimate activities such as vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse. The time when the virus is most likely to be spread is when the sores, such as cold sores or fever blisters, are open and weeping, during this time the virus may be spread from one partner to another or from one part of the body to another. Although the chance of getting genital herpes from an infected partner whom has no symptoms are only about 10 out of every hundred or 10 percent. It is unlikely, however, that contact with toilet seats, moist towels or similar objects spread herpes. The most commonly infected areas are moist areas of the mouth, anus, vulva, vagina, penis, or the eyes.
The herpes virus is one of the most prevalent viral diseases known to man. As much as eighty percent of all people, worldwide, have herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), and twenty percent have herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2). This may sound like scary statistics, but most infected people suffer only mild discomfort. The more common form, HSV1, usually causes the occasional blister-like sores on or around the mouth. These blisters are called cold sores or fever blisters and, as most sufferers know, they are annoying and mildly painful but rarely dangerous. If the sores are left alone, they will generally heal up in five to twenty days. The less common version, HSV2, has the same symptoms except that the sores are usually found on or
HSV-1 is generally transferred from one person to another by kissing.... HSV-2 is usually transferred by vaginal intercourse or anal intercourse. Yet in the same way HSV-1 may invade the genitals and then trigger genital HSV simplex virus, HSV-2 will transfer from a single person's genitals to one other person's lips, leading to oral herpes.
Herpes simplex 1 also known as oral herpes, it's scientific name is simplex virus. Herpes simplex 1 is a bacterial disease. Herpes simplex 1 is passed with children if the parents carry it. This type can also be carried by kissing, drinking from the same cup from a person that carries it, and any other physical contact with someone that carries it. The cause of the disease can be found on/in the mouth. HSV-1 has a few types of functions: cold sores and/or fever blisters around the mouth and on the face. HSV-1 can be spread much faster when an infected person is having an outbreak. The disease can be spread to any age group, especially if you -have a weekend immune system, having multiple sex partners, being a female, having another sexually transmitted infections- this also goes for Herpes simplex 2 (HSV-2).
It is reported that the herpes virus is more easily transmitted from male to female than from female to male. It is reported that approximately one out of every five women between the ages of 14 to 49 years of age have the herpes virus and one out of nine men between the ages of 14 and 49 years of age have the herpes virus. The majority of individuals infected with NSV-1 or HSV-2 experience few if any symptoms or their symptoms are so mild that they do not even notice them or mistakenly believe that they can be attributed to another skin problem. When symptoms are noted it is in the form of blisters that are painful around the individual's "genitals, rectum or mouth." (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012, p.1) The blisters break and leave painful sores that may take two to four weeks to heal.
Herpes viruses have a history of infecting different animals in the past. The herpes-b virus is carried by numerous species of macaque monkeys, which are believed to be a natural host for the virus. An increasing population of drifting monkeys in Florida takes a herpes virus that is deadly to people. The herpes-B infection is sporadic in individuals, but if it does happen, it could lead to serious brain injury or death when the individual is not treated immediately.
Herpes is not medicated right away it can form some type of cancer. The regular
I denied every one of them. He then responded, “oh, well, at least is not something TOO bad, Julio, are you familiar with something cold HSV-1?”, “No” I quickly replied. He sighs and pulls up a chair in front of me. Well I’ll lecture you a bit about what we have in our hands here. “go ahead, hit me with what you know”, I replied. “Julio, it appears you have a cold sore. A cold sore is a blister, that usually forms on or around the lip and its usually caused by HSV-1.” “What is a HSV-1?” I asked, “HSV-1 is herpes simplex 1, it’s the virus that causes cold and mouth sores. The herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common viral infection that is transmissible from one person to another by close, direct contact. Cold sores and fever blisters are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1
Herpes is a very common illness, and a herpes cure is yet to be discovered. According to the International Herpes Resource Center, an estimated 40 - 50 percent of Americans have the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV – 1) or Herpes Simplex 2 (HSV – 2) Infection. Both types of herpes diseases result in painful sores and outbreaks, with HSV-1 usually resulting in fever blisters in the mouth area and HSV-2 causing lesions in the genital section.

The best thing is to date someone and let the love come first. Let someone describe you from the love you offer. Since there is no way kissing or cuddling or just sleep with someone infected can ever pass the HSV 2. Then when you have settled and you want to begin a sexual relationship, now would be the right time to be open and let your partner know about your conditions. A good couple will discuss on the issue. Decide on what is best; if it is to break up or keep the partner and begin treatment of which is possible. A doubt of rejection also should be considered. May be the partner has no knowledge about the disease and may run away from the infected. There will always be someone who will be ready to accept, take you with the condition and willingly support you throughout the dilemma for the infection will never define what your virtues stand
This can be contacted from another person after direct skin-to-skin contact, mouth contact, or sexual contact. When the virus is first caught, it does not always show up on the skin, but can lie dormant within special parts of the sensory nerves. Later in life, the virus can become active again and appear as herpes simplex on the skin. Areas which are most commonly affected by herpes simplex are the lips (as cold sores) and the genital area (as genital herpes).
There have many attempts to solve the problem of world poverty in recent years. Average people have begun to care and are willing to help with the age old problem. However, the world is making little progress toward the eradication of poverty. Many of the things we are doing, out of the goodness of our hearts, just aren't helping. For various reasons, the typical response to poverty of donating vast sums of money to hurting countries doesn't help the poor near as much as other solutions and sometimes may even make the problem worse.
"The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure. There were buffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet-dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these and security were within. Without was the 'Red Death,'" (209). As Edgar Allen Poe set the scene for his story, he also created an ominous mood and a sense of suspense supported by the setting. He details the fun and amusement inside the prince's abbey, in contrast to the horror and doom outside, and the reader's curiosity is piqued, because such bliss cannot be maintained for long. Throughout the story Poe explicates and changes elaborate environments to build the suspenseful
