To know the mechanisms involved in transmitting genital herpes, one must first have a general knowledge of the disease. Genital herpes, also known as herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2), is one of two known strains of the herpes virus. The other strain, HSV 1, is known more commonly as cold sores. The main difference between the two lies in their modes of transmission. HSV 1 is a sexually transmitted disease while cold sores is not. But even though cold sores is generally not a sexually transmittable disease, a person with cold sores can still pass on the virus if he or she performs oral sex on another person. Both genital herpes and cold sores enter the body through tiny cuts in the skin and through the mucous membranes that are abundant in the oral cavity and in the genital area and anus.
Transmitting genital herpes is easier when a person is having an outbreak. This higher risk is the same for both genital herpes symptoms in men and in women. This does not mean though that transmitting genital herpes is improbable when the disease is in its dormant stage. A person experiencing an outbreak usually have lesions, blisters or sores in and around his or her genital area. When a bodily fluid of an infected person enters the body of another through a cut or the mucous membrane, then the other person will most likely acquire the disease.
Infected individuals who do not show any signs or symptoms can still transmit the disease. A person is most infectious prior to an outbreak. This phase, called the the prodome or viral shedding phase, is characterized by a tingling and itching sensation. So beware of individuals showing these signs to avoid acquiring the disease.
Transmitting genital herpes is a simple and easy process, that is why we should always be on guard especially with people we share intimate moments with.
