Ways of Transmission of Herpes Virus Infection

Genital herpes is caused by two serotypes of herpes simplex: HSV-1 and HSV-2. The disease is transmitted mainly during sexual intercourse with a person diseased with genital herpes. Often genital herpes is transmitted from people with no symptoms or people who does not know they are infected.

Genital herpes rarely is transmitted other than via sexual intercourse, however, there were cases when infecting occurred via saliva, personal hygiene products and underwear. Those ways of infecting have low-probability and may occur during a very close contact with infected person who is in acuity disease. There is impossible to get infected via water-closet seats, swimming pools, common ware and towels.

Besides transmission of HVI via direct path also is possible infecting during organs transplantation, blood transfusion and during direct contact with mucosa or blood of the diseased person in acute stage. In this case danger of infection with genital herpes may lie in wait for such health professionals as gynaecologist, surgeon, dentist.

Herpes is one of most spread human viral infections. More than 90% of people worldwide are infected with herpes simplex virus and 20% among them have various clinical manifestations of the infection. More often from genital herpes do suffer women – the occurrence among women is six time higher than in men.

Moreover, in the middle of XX century HSV-1 and HSV-2 were clearly distinguished by localization, now more frequently occur cases when genitalia of both partners is infected with both types of herpes.

Therefore, today many tests, that help to detect herpes simplex virus, react on both virus types without differentiating. In 40% of cases primary infection with herpes occurs in early childhood. In this case herpes simplex virus is transmitted via airborne from relatives with active signs of herpes infection.

Factors provoking herpes virus infection:
1. lowering of immune responsiveness
2. overcooling and overheating of the body
3. cold-related diseases
4. such medical procedures as abortions or insertion of intrauterine device
5. stress
6. hormonal changes
7. alcohol
