What You Need To Know About Herpes

There are many different kinds of herpes but the main difference between them is where they are on the body. For instance the most talked about kind of herpes is genital herpes and these are guess where: on the genital area. Millions and millions of people in the United States have herpes and you do not have to be promiscuous in order to get them. It only takes having sex with one person to get this herpes disease.

The best way for you to protect yourself against getting genital herpes is to avoid sexual contact. Abstinence is your best way to avoid herpes from happening to you. You can get herpes from any sort of physical contact, this includes vaginal, oral and even anal sex. DO not think that one way is safer that the other because it is not, not when it comes to herpes.

There are other ways for you to avoid getting herpes, for instance you need to have protected sex when you are sexually active. It does not matter how well you know your partner you still need to take steps like wearing condoms to protect yourself against herpes as well as other diseases.

Herpes is much more contagious when you are in the middle of an outbreak. Many times a herpes sufferer will be able to tell when an outbreak is coming simply by the way that the area feels. Herpes outbreaks are often preceded by tingling or stinging sensations in the genital area. Avoid having sex when you feel these symptoms or when you are having a herpes outbreak because there is a much greater chance of spreading herpes to your partner. Just because you can spread herpes easier in an outbreak this does not mean that this is the only time that your herpes is contagious. Even when you are not having an outbreak you could be contagious so always have protected sex that includes the wearing of condoms when you have sex.
