Genital Herpes: Hsv-2
built 642 days ago
HSV-1 infections were traditionally associated with the oral area (fever blisters), whereas HSV-2 infections occurred in the genital region. However, because of increasing oral-genital contact, either HSV type may be found in either location. Currently, approximately 15% of genital HSV infections are caused by HSV-1. This rate is increasing, especially among college-aged women.

People with genital herpes are more likely to become infected with HIV if they are exposed through sexual intercourse. If you have HIV and you are infected with HSV-2, you may be more likely to spread HIV to others.
