Knowledge is the first step towards confidence. Learn the facts about the two most common types of the Herpes Simplex Virus.
HSV-1
Commonly associated with oral herpes (cold sores), but can also cause genital herpes. It's incredibly prevalent, with a majority of the global population carrying the virus. Transmission is often through non-sexual contact in childhood.
HSV-2
Primarily causes genital herpes and is almost exclusively transmitted through sexual contact. While less common than HSV-1, it is still widespread. Both types are manageable and share similar characteristics.

Antiviral Treatments
Daily suppressive therapy with antiviral medications (like valacyclovir) can reduce outbreaks by over 70% and dramatically lower the risk of transmission to a partner.
Safe Practices
Using condoms and avoiding sexual contact during an outbreak are crucial steps. Combining these methods with antiviral therapy creates a highly effective strategy for protecting your partner.
