Herpes - symptoms and how to test
Herpes is a common virus that can cause blisters or ulcers in your mouth or genitalia. Although herpes might be uncomfortable, it seldom causes any long-term health issues. Skin-to-skin contact with an infected person is all it takes to catch herpes. You can contract it during oral, anal, or vaginal intercourse by having your genitalia touch theirs. Testing lets doctors tell patients what to predict. This includes symptom-relieving drugs. Doctors can also educate patients on how to reduce herpes transmission risks.
