Genital herpes is an STD caused by the two types of herpes simplex virus (HSV). Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) typically causes oral herpes, an infection of the lips and mouth, that is commonly known as cold sores or fever blisters. Historically Herpes simplex 1 has not been known to cause genital herpes, but this is changing, especially among sexually active young people. Nonetheless, genital herpes is generally caused herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). The herpes simplex virus is transmitted by direct contact with a sore or the body fluid of an infected individual.

Herpes viruses 1 and 2 both cycle between active periods, where a person displays infectious sores for up to 21 days, and periods of remission. Herpes infections are life-long afflictions with the number of outbreaks decreasing over time. However, genital herpes can also be asymptomatic.


Results of a recent study show that at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or 20% of adolescents and adults in the United States, have had a genital herpes infection. Genital herpes is slightly more common in women at about 25% of the population of the United States. There is currently no vaccine or cure for the herpes simplex virus.
