HSV - Types, Causes and Treatment


Herpes Simplex is a viral disease caused by Herpes Simplex Virus. The Virus attaches itself to the cell membrane and creeps into cell Nucleus and in some cases might be latent avoiding detection. Ironically ‘Creep’ and ‘Latent’ are the literal meaning of the word ‘Herpes’ in Greek language.

Herpes Simplex Virus or simply HSV is broadly classified into HSV Type I and HSV Type II depending upon the type of virus and the parts that are affected in our body.
Even though both HSV Type I and Type II can affect all the body parts, HSV I affects mostly the skin, throat, mouth, lips, eye etc. while HSV Type II affects genital parts.


HSV – Symptoms:

Dangerous part of this particular Virus is that appearance of symptoms take time and the signs of having infected will start appearing only after a week after the actual infection.


  • Though blisters appear at a later stage, at the place where the blisters are about to happen, there might be an itching and burning sensation in the skin. This sensation might prolong for a day or two.
  • Appearance of sores in vital parts like lips, throats, eyes are the next things that will be noticeable after about 10 days of the infection.
  • Fever accompanied by muscle aches and or swollen glands around the neck or in the Groin in case of a Genital Herpes are also more common.
  • A burning sensation while urinating is also a symptom that cannot be ignored particularly in case of Women who are the common victim of Genital Herpes.
  • Infected eye is also a symptom to be dealt with caution. HSV can spread to both the eyes causing pain, making your eyes more sensitive to the lights. This might lead to a cloudy vision and might even end up in loss of vision.



HSV – How it spreads?

  • Most persons get infected by HSV I at the infant stage itself.
  • HSV virus can spread by direct contacts (Skin to Skin). It is not necessary that the Virus would spread only if there are sores.


Most common causes that spread HSV I and II are

  • Mouth to mouth kissing
  • By touching a person’s skin
  • Sharing objects and ornaments like Silverware, razor or lipstick or lip balm.
  • Having more than one sexual partners.
  • Having had sex at a very early stage of life
  • Having been infected by other sexually transmitted disease earlier.
  • Having a week immune system due to drugs or other diseases.
  • Genital sores can be caused after getting into contact with HSL I or HSV II transmitted through the affected sex partner either by Oral or Normal sexual inter courses.


Diagnosis:

It is generally diagnosed by seeing the sores.
A swab from the sores might be tested to confirm the infection.
In the absence of sores other medical tests like blood tests can be used to diagnose the infection.


Treatment:

To make it point blank there is no cure for Hermes Virus.
The sores might initially give trouble but would disappear after some time even if you do not take any medicine.
Anti-viral creams and tablets relieve the pains caused by the sores and to shorten the outbreak.
Anti-Viral medicines that are approved for prescriptions are Acyclovir, Famciclovir and Valacyclovir. These medicines can reduce the severity and frequency of the outbreaks and also would prevent spreading of the Virus.

Outcome:

Human Body produces an immune system for Hermes Virus. So normally the first outbreak will be more serious and the white blood corpuscles start being alert about the disease. The second outbreak is called recurrence.
It becomes more serious only in cases when a person is not healthy enough to combat the disease. It could be serious for an Unborn Child or a just born Child or persons having a long illness that has weakened the immune system.
It is gets to dangerous proportions if the person is already infected by HIV.
