herpein, which means "to creep" a reflection of the way
common herpes skin lesions or ulcers spread. When individuals refer
to herpes simplex they are primarily concerned with two prevalent
types, HSV-1and HSV-2. There is a common belief that HSV-1attacks
above the waist and is responsible for cold sores, while HSV-2 attacks
below the waist and is responsible for the genital lesions. However,
both herpes viruses HSV-1and II can cause herpetic lesions on the
oral mucosa and the genital region. Herpes HSV-1 is primarily the
cause of recurrent cold sores while HSV-2 are generally responsible
for the genital lesions.

with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). The prevalence has increased
by 30 percent in the past 15 years. Many patients with HSV-2 are
asymptomatic, and an estimated 80 percent of cases are never diagnosed.

sexually transmitted disease. In fact, genital warts are the most
common complaint diagnosed at sexually transmitted diseases clinics

date there have been some 100 types of HPV, however, only about
30 types of the virus are spread through sexual contact. Unfortunately,

cancer and other genital cancers.
Most individuals are unaware that they have HPV because they have
no symptoms (in women the genital warts often go unnoticed secondary
to there position on the labia). However, these individuals can
still spread the virus even though they are not experiencing any
of the symptoms.
