چکیده
What is genital herpes? Genital herpes (HER-pees) is a disease caused by a virus called herpes simplex. It may cause painful blisters on the thighs, buttocks, or genitals. The blisters break open and turn into sores. The virus can also cause fever blisters or cold sores around the mouth. Once you get herpes, the virus stays in your body for the rest of your life. When sores form, it is called an outbreak. You can get outbreaks often or only once in a while. Some people never have another outbreak after the first outbreak heals. About one in six people between the ages of 15 and 50 years has genital herpes, although most do not know they have it. Even if they do not have symptoms, people can still pass the infection through close oral or genital contact.
