(( Herpes simplex is a viral disease caused by both herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Herpes simplex is quite easily transmitted by having direct contact with a lesion or with the body fluid of an infected individual. Transmission could also happen through skin-to-skin contact during episodes of asymptomatic shedding. - Wikipedia ))

Now, To Look Out For It

There are some specific websites for you to go to where you can get to know a lot more about the special relationship between sweating and herpes. Not only can you learn more, you can also get a lot of specific information about this disease.

The two types of herpes, especially type HSV-2 which happens to be the most common form among women, often do not show any symptoms, therefore making the sufferer unaware that he or she has herpes. However, when you suffer your first outbreak, when sores can occur, the signs and symptoms you have shown could become very pronounced. Sometimes, the first outbreak will happen within the first two weeks after the virus has been transmitted, and normally, the sores will tend to subside after approximately two to four weeks.

Signals and symptoms during your first episode of herpes may also include - * a second bout of sores; * some flu-like symptoms; * swollen glands; * and fever; and that is why sweating and herpes are so greatly related. A lot of people who have HSV-2 herpes may be unaware that they are infected and they will often assume that they only have a certain type of rash or skin problem.

The majority of people who have been diagnosed with herpes are most likely to have several, perhaps four or five outbreaks a year. After some time, the signs and symptoms of your herpes could begin to gradually decrease in frequency.

What You Could Do

Unfortunately for all herpes sufferers, there is no cure, but doctors can prescribe for you, anti-viral medications and treatments that can shorten, or prevent, the outbreaks of herpes during the period of time that you are taking your medication.

Also, another form of treatment for herpes, called daily suppressive therapy for asymptomatic infection, could be a great help when it comes to preventing the transmission of the disease to partners or other people.

Be aware though, sometimes there is no telling if a person is infected with herpes so you should watch out, and as a precaution, it is a good idea for both you and your partner to perhaps be checked regularly.

The safest way to prevent genital herpes is to have abstinence from sex, or to maintain a monogamous relationship with only one partner, of course, and that needs to be a partner who does not have the disease. Should you be sexually active though, with multiple partners, then condoms are the best known form of protection available, after abstinence.
