DISCLAIMER - One Minute Herpes Cure

oneminutesherpescure.comIt is overwhelming the number of people that do not realizejust how strong the genital herpes statistics are. Genitalherpes is a very common virus that is affecting a largenumber of the adult population these days.In a recent study to gather genital herpes statistics, anationally representative study show that, genital herpesinfection is very common in the United States. Nationwide,45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five(possibly as many as 1 in 4) of the total adolescent and adultpopulation, are infected with HSV-2.When taking genital herpes statistics look around you at anygiven time and recognize based on the genital herpesstatistics just how many people are likely to have the virus.HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximatelyone out of four women) than in men (almost one out offive). This is according to the same genital herpes statisticsresearch.20

oneminutesherpescure.comThis may be due to male-to-female transmission being moreefficient than female-to-male transmission.HSV-2 infection has also been found to be more common inblacks (45.9%) than in whites (17.6%). Race and ethnicity inthe United States correlate with other, more fundamentaldeterminants of health such as poverty, access to goodquality health care, behavior for seeking health care, illicitdrug use, and living in communities with a high prevalenceof STDs.Ongoing genital herpes statistics research since the late1970s, indicate the number of Americans with genitalherpes infection has increased 30%. The largest increase iscurrently occurring in young white teens. HSV-2 infectionis now five times more common in 12- to 19-year-old whites,and it is twice as common in young adults ages 20 to 29 thanit was 20 years ago.21

oneminutesherpescure.comHerpes is ContagiousThe fact is, cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virusand is considered highly contagious at times. Herpes andcold sores contagious ability can take place at anytime notjust when there are active outbreaks or lesions occurring.Herpes and cold sores contagious strength comes duringtimes of viral shedding which is a process that occurs in theblood and shows no symptoms or outbreak. Herpes andcold sores contagious ability is most likely to take placeduring the times of outbreak and lesions.22

oneminutesherpescure.comWhen herpes and cold sores are present, you should avoidskin-to-skin contact with those who may not be infected.Types of herpesThe herpes family of viruses includes eight different virusesthat affect human beings. I have listed them below for yourinformation.23

oneminutesherpescure.comHowever we are only actually interested in HHV-1 (HSV-1)and HHV-2 (HSV-2).Put simply: herpes type 1 causes sores around the mouthand lips (sometimes called fever blisters or cold sores). HSV1 can cause genital herpes, but most cases of genital herpesare caused by herpes type 2. In HSV-2, the infected personmay have sores around the genitals or rectum. AlthoughHSV-2 sores may occur in other locations, these soresusually are found below the waist.Human Herpes Virus 1Human herpes virus 1 (HHV-1) is also known as herpessimplex virus 1 (HSV-1). It is typically the cause of cold soresaround the mouth. HHV1 can also lead to infection in thegenital area causing genital herpes usually through oralgenital contact, such as during oral sex.24

oneminutesherpescure.comHHV-1 infections are contagious and are usually spread fromskin-to-skin contact with an infected person through smallbreaks in the skin or mucous membrane.The HHV-1 virus is more likely to be spread through thingslike sharing eating utensils, razors, and towels from a personwho has an active lesion.Human Herpes Virus 2Human herpes virus 2 (HHV-2) is also called herpes simplexvirus 2 (HSV-2). It typically causes genital herpes, a sexuallytransmitted infection. However, it can also cause cold soresin the facial area.Like HHV-1, the HHV-2 infection is contagious and is spreadby skin-to-skin contact. The main route of transmission isthrough sexual contact, as the virus does not survive verylong outside the body.25

oneminutesherpescure.comIf you have been diagnosed with genital herpes you may notexperience any notable symptoms. The herpes virus canremain dormant in your system for a lifetime. Once infectedHSV-2 resides in the nerve cells at the base of the spinalcolumn.Human Herpes Virus 3Human herpes virus 3 (HHV-3) is also called varicella zostervirus. HHV-3 causes chickenpox. It can also cause a recurrentvirus infection of the skin, which is called herpes zoster orshingles.Shingles occurs when dormant varicella zoster virus from aninitial bout of chickenpox becomes reactivated. Like its closerelative, HHV-1, herpes zoster likes to infect skin cells andnerve cells.This virus may also recur along nerve fibre pathways,causing multiple sores where nerve fibres end on skin cells.26

oneminutesherpescure.comBecause an entire group of nerve cells is often affected,shingles is generally much more severe than a recurrence ofherpes simplex. The lesions generally appear in a band-likeor belt-like pattern on one side of the body and are oftenaccompanied by itching, tingling or even severe pain.Healing usually occurs in two to four weeks, and scars mayremain. Post herpetic neuralgia is a complication of shingleswhere the pain associated with the infection can persist formonths and even years. Most people who experienceshingles once do not experience it again.Human Herpes Virus 4Human herpes virus 4 (HHV-4) is also known as the EpsteinBarr virus. It is the major cause of infectious mononucleosis,or “mono” - the “kissing disease.” It is a contagious infectionand is transmitted through saliva. Coughing, sneezing orsharing eating utensils with an infected person can pass thevirus from one person to another.27

oneminutesherpescure.comHuman Herpes Virus 5Human herpes virus 5 (HHV-5) is the official name ofcytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV is also a cause ofmononucleosis. In people with healthy immune systems,the virus may not even cause any symptoms. It can besexually transmitted, can cause problems to newborns, andcan cause hepatitis.CMV can be transmitted through sexualcontact, breast-feeding, blood transfusions and organtransplants. CMV infection is oneof the most difficult complications of AIDS. It may lead todiarrhoea, severe vision problems including blindness,infections of the stomach and intestines, and even death.For a virus that barely causes a problem in most people withhealthy immune systems, it can be amazingly nasty inpeople with damaged immune systems, such as people withAIDS.28

oneminutesherpescure.comHuman Herpes Virus 6Human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) is a recently observed agentfound in the blood cells of a few patients with a variety ofdiseases. It causes rosella (a viral disease causing high feverand a skin rash in small children) and a variety of otherillnesses associated with fever in that age group. Thisinfection accounts for many of the cases of convulsionsassociated with fever in infancy (febrile seizures).Human Herpes Virus 7Human herpes virus 7 (HHV-7) is even more recentlyobserved and is closely related to HHV-6. Like other humanherpes viruses, HHV-6 andHHV-7 are so common that most of humankind has beeninfected at some point, usually early in life. HHV-7 can alsocause rosella, but it is not clear what other clinical effectsthis virus causes.29

oneminutesherpescure.comHuman Herpes Virus 8Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) was recently discovered inthe tumours called Kaposi’s sarcoma(KS). These tumours are found in people with AIDS and areotherwise very rare. KS forms purplish tumours in the skinand other tissues of some people with AIDS.It is very difficultto treat with medication. HHV-8 may also cause othercancers, including certain lymphomas (lymph node cancers)associated with AIDS. The fact that these cancers are causedby a virus may explain why they tend to occur in people withAIDS when their immune systems begin to fail. Thediscovery also provides new hope that specific treatmentsthat will target this virus will be developed.30

oneminutesherpescure.comGenital HerpesGenital herpes is highly contagious. If you know you havegenital herpes then you really have to be very careful not topass on the infection.Of course you may not know you have herpes or you maythink you no longer have a problem with the condition asyou have not had an outbreak for months even years.But the fact is that unless you know for a fact that you nolonger carry the virus, you really do need to be careful.Always use a barrier (condom).31

oneminutesherpescure.comThis will not only protect your partner, but will also protectyou. This advice should be adhered to during all sexualactivities (including oral).The symptoms of oral herpes and genital herpes are almostidentical, and once you're infected becomes permanent,that is as far as conventional medicine is concerned. Asmentioned above herpes may not be apparent or obvious.The virus attaches itself to either end of the spinal cord andcan remain dormant for months, years or even a lifetime.The fact that herpes remains dormant in you or perhaps inyour partner does not mean that the condition cannot bepassed to another person (shedding).Herpes may be contagious at any time even without visiblesigns of an outbreak (estimated at 1-5% of the time). Thissymptom is called viral shedding.32

oneminutesherpescure.comMany doctors still believe and offer advice along the lines of“ You can’t infect anyone with herpes if you are not showingsymptoms” an (outbreak), This information is wrong. Youcan pass on herpes at any time, outbreak or not.A herpes outbreak normally starts with one or a few smallblisters. Without treatment, the herpes blisters generallylast several days and then form scabs which often turn black,indicating the end of the outbreak. Once the blisters havegone, the skin will often look a slightly different colour for awhile. Herpes blisters (symptoms) can be treated withtopical treatments to some degree, however the virus willremain and most of these so-called topical treatments arelittle more than an expensive waste of time. I’ll explain howto get rid of herpes blisters quickly, safely and cheaply in justa while. Forget about all of those expensive herpes reliefproducts.33

oneminutesherpescure.comWhat Does Herpes Look Like?Many people confuse herpes with other conditions, andeven doctors may not be able to recognize it. However,common herpes symptoms tend to be the same whereverthey’re located on the body. The main difference lies in theseverity of the symptoms. It may cover a larger area and bemore acute if it is a first infection of primary infection.Recurrent infections are usually milder. Herpes often lookslike a mosquito bite, a small blister or collection of smallblisters, sometimes a spot (zit) or a white-head. Herpessometimes starts with an itch and a rash.34

oneminutesherpescure.comThe skin can become red and tender. Then swelling mayoccur until small blisters appear. Sometimes they gather ina larger blister. The blisters can be transparent, whitish andyellowish or filled with a greenish liquid. Symptoms mayvary from time to time, as will the appearance of theblisters. They may appear in different sizes, shapes orcolours or appear in different areas.What is typical about herpes is that herpes blisters usuallystart to crust and turn back into healthy skin.Herpes Often Confused With OtherConditionsAre you absolutely sure you have herpes? That might seemlike a stupid question but the fact is there are a number ofconditions which are often mistaken for herpes.35

oneminutesherpescure.comCandidiasisFor example, genital herpes is often confused with a yeastinfection or Candida (Candidiasis). They both cause redness,swelling, itchiness and burning.The yeast infection called Candidiasi, is caused by a smallfungus called Candida albicans and often causes smallblisters. Candidiasi is usually found internally or very closeto the genitalia.36

oneminutesherpescure.comSyphilisSyphilis is another sexually transmitted disease (STD).Syphilis is caused by a bacterium called Treponemapallidum. As well as being sexually transmitted it can also bepassed from mother to infant during pregnancy (congenitalsyphilis).Primary syphilis first stage symptoms include swollen glandsand painless small ulcers usually located near the genitalarea (much like herpes). If not treated, syphilis may move toits second stage and cause a rash covering parts of the bodyor the entire body.37

oneminutesherpescure.comIt usually appears four to ten weeks after the first stagesymptoms. Other common symptoms include sore throat,fatigue, headache and swollen lymph glands. Less frequentsymptoms include flu-like symptoms, weight loss, hair loss,aching joints or sores in the mouth or genital area.Syphilis looks most like genital herpes in its second stage.More generally, syphilis is very often confused with otherailments. It really is important to discount syphilis as earlyas possible, as left untreated, syphilis will move to its thirdand final stage and damage many organs, resulting inmental illness, blindness, deafness, memory loss or otherneurological problems such as heart disease or even death.Syphilis may often look like herpes but it is, in fact, quitedifferent. Herpes is a virus whereas Syphilis is a bacterialinfection which can be treated easily with penicillin or otherantibiotics. Untreated syphilis can be fatal, so please makesure that you do not have it!38

oneminutesherpescure.comImpetigoImpetigo mainly affects the face, especially around the noseand mouth and on the hands. Impetigo is mostly associatedwith children and adolescents, but it can also affect adultsin the genital area.It is a common but highly contagious bacterial skin infection.It is caused by either Streptococcus pyogenes orStaphylococcus aureus.Streptococcus pyrogenes usually produces redness, blistersor sores and forms a yellowish-brown crust. Staphylococcusaureus tends to trigger larger fluid-filled blisters that don’tusually burst.39

oneminutesherpescure.comThe disease is highly contagious, and scratching or touchingthe sores is likely to spread the infection to other parts ofthe body as well as to other people.Atopic DermatitisAtopic dermatitis is often referred to as eczema. But eczemahas a broader meaning than atopic dermatitis. Atopicdermatitis is not contagious. Several people of the samefamily are often affected with AD. The causes of atopicdermatitis are not known and consist of a complexinteraction of genetic and environmental factors.40

oneminutesherpescure.comEven though symptoms may vary in different people, mostpeople have acute flares with inflamed, red, sometimesblistered and weepy patches that recur from time to time orthat can become chronic.Other types of eczema includeallergic contact eczema, neurodermatitis, seborrheiceczema and nummular eczema. Most of them have somesymptoms in common with genital herpes, like itchiness,redness and burning or even blisters.Other ConditionsThere are of course many other conditions which are easilymistaken for herpes such as insect bites, skin allergies,nettle rash, etc.41
