First of all, it’s important to understand that there are two different types of herpes simplex virus that individuals in the Southlake and Grapevine areas may experience. In either case, it can be problematic but they are different types of viruses and affect bodies in different ways.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type I – This is a very common type of the herpes virus and is responsible for the cold sores that you may experience. This type of virus may also be responsible for genital herpes, which is a problem for many individuals. It is easily passed from one individual to another through direct contact by coming into contact with items that are commonly shared, such as drinking after somebody using the same straw.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type II – Another type of the herpes virus is the type 2 strain. In this case, you are dealing with a virus that is typically responsible for genital herpes. This type of virus may also infect the mouth of the individuals, usually through direct contact during oral sex.
This difficulty is very common and it is estimated that approximately 20% of all individuals living in the United States are carrying the virus.

Other people, however, will exhibit the symptoms that are common to the virus.
The Symptoms &Treatment for Herpes Simplex
As was stated, not everybody who has an infection with this virus is going to exhibit physical symptoms.

It is also important to recognize that once you have the virus, you are always going to have it. The symptoms may come and go but there is no cure for herpes simplex, and you always have the virus in your body, even between the times that you have symptoms.

Medications may also make it less likely for you to transmit the herpes virus to other individuals.
