According to the CDC, a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey revealed that nearly 48% of Americans had oral herpes during 2015-2016.
With such wide-spread prevalence of both oral and genital herpes, it’s important to know all the facts about the disease.

While many know the basics of herpes and how it spreads (sexual contact such as oral or vaginal sex as well as by non-sexual contact with saliva and discharge), there may be some things you are yet unaware of.
To shed light on these lesser-known facts, here are 5 things you may not—but should—know about herpes.

It May Get Mistaken For A UTI Or Yeast Infection
Since there are over a 100 types of herpes virus, the severity of symptoms varies greatly. Sometimes, there might not be any symptoms at all (called asymptomatic shedding).
If there are symptoms, they may get misdiagnosed as those of a Urinary Tract Infection or a yeast infection. This is because for people who’ve gotten infected with herpes for the first time, the symptoms may include pain in the genital area, a burning feeling wile urinating and yellow colored discharge.

A Herpes Outbreak Is Predictable
In the phenomenon called prodrome, a patient may experience symptoms-like lesion before the outbreak occurs. The herpes virus ‘lives’ in the spinal cord of infected individuals. When activated, the virus travels down a spinal nerve root and causes a lesion in a particular area.
Other symptoms include itching, burning and persistent tingling in the affected area. If patients recognize these signs for what they are, they should begin treatment immediately to shorten the longevity of the outbreak.

Getting Infected With Herpes May Increase Your Risk Of Other STIs HSV-2—which commonly causes genital herpes—has been linked to a higher risk for HIV. This may be because the inflammation and blisters in the skin in the genital area might make it easier for the HIV virus to enter the body.

Condoms Reduce The Risk Of Acquiring HSV-2 By 30% According to a study based on more than 5000 infected individuals, subjects who consistently used condoms during intercourse had a 30% lower risk of acquiring the HSV-2 virus as compared to those who had unprotected sex.

Despite the effectiveness of condom use, remember that they aren’t completely infallible. There is always a chance that your partner may not know how to use one correctly, or of a tear in the condom.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his

My name is Anna, and for the past four years, I lived in fear of oral and genital herpes outbreaks. Despite dedicating all my savings to various medications, I was constantly anxious about the possibility of the next flare-up. After experiencing countless disappointments, I stumbled upon Dr. Utu's herbal cure online, and on a whim, I reached out to him at [email protected].
To my relief, Dr. Utu responded quickly, providing reassurance and encouragement that I desperately needed. He took the time to understand my situation and prepared a personalized herbal remedy tailored to my specific needs. I followed his instructions diligently, staying committed to the treatment plan.
After finishing the course of the herbal remedy, I was filled with hope and apprehension, so I underwent a medical test to see if the treatment had been effective. To my astonishment, the results confirmed that I was herpes-free! To ensure the accuracy of the results, I got tested again at a different facility, and that test also yielded a negative result.
Today, I’m thriving and free from the pain of outbreaks and the constant fear of transmission. My quality of life has improved dramatically, and I feel liberated from the stigma that once surrounded me. If you're struggling with herpes, I encourage you to reach out to Dr. Utu at [email protected]. He is reliable, trustworthy, and his remedies truly work. My experience has given me hope, and I believe it can do the same for you!
