5 Shocking Facts About Herpes Simplex Virus

Hi friends🍋

1. Two Types, Same Virus: There are two types of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV): HSV-1 usually causes cold sores around the mouth, and HSV-2 typically causes genital herpes. But guess what? Both can show up in either place!

2. Super Common: Believe it or not, more than half the world has HSV-1, and millions have HSV-2. So if you have it, you’re definitely not alone.

3. It Can Hide: After you get infected, the virus can chill in your body for years without doing much. Then, out of nowhere, it can reactivate, especially if you’re stressed or your immune system is down.

4. No Cure, But No Biggie: Sure, there’s no cure yet, but with the right meds, you can keep outbreaks under control and reduce the chance of passing it on.
