What is Genital herpes
Genital Herpes is an STI that can be passed on through vaginal, anal and oral sex. Treatment from a sexual health clinic helps the symptoms clear up but they may come back again later in life.
YOU CAN GET GENITAL HERPES:
- from skin-to-skin contact with the infected area (including vaginal, anal and oral sex)
- when there are no visible sores or blisters
- if a cold sore touches your genitals
- by transferring the infection on fingers from someone else to your genitals
- by sharing sex toys with someone who has herpes
You can reduce the chances of passing herpes on by:
- using a condom every time you have vaginal, anal or oral sex – but herpes can still be passed on if the condom does not cover the infected area
- avoiding vaginal, anal or oral sex if you or your partner has blisters or sores, or a tingle or itch that means an outbreak is coming
- not sharing sex toys – if you do, wash them and put a condom on them
Can someone who is pregnant or breastfeeding use Zovirax Cream?
