Herpes FAQ

  • The Herpes Simplex Virus type 1, or HSV-1, is exceedingly prevalent, yet many who carry it are unaware. This virus commonly leads to the development of cold sores, which are distressing blisters located around the lips or inside the mouth. These lesions, sometimes known as “fever blisters,” “oral ulcers,” or in some cases mistaken for “canker sores,” stem from the herpes virus. An outbreak, which can be identified by the appearance of just one or multiple sores, brings not only physical unease but also emotional strain. The severity and experience of outbreaks can differ based on one’s history of outbreaks and the promptness of applying antiviral treatments. Characteristics of a cold sore outbreak include:

    • Fever and general aches, mirroring flu-like symptoms
    • Discomfort in the mouth and throat area
    • Blisters that cause pain on or around the mouth, lips, nose, or throat
    • The lifecycle of blisters which burst and scab as they heal
    • Possible swelling in the neck area
    • The duration of symptoms typically around 12 days
  • About 1 in 8 adults in the US are carriers of HSV-2, the main virus behind genital herpes, though HSV-1 can also lead to the condition. A number of those with HSV-2 might not show any symptoms, while others could face genital outbreaks periodically throughout their lives. It’s common for some to confuse these outbreaks with “genital pimples” or “fever blisters.” However, experiencing painful genital sores often indicates genital herpes. Signs you might observe include:

    • Pain during urination
    • Fatigue and flu-like symptoms
    • Headaches and joint discomfort
    • Flu-like symptoms
    • Sores in the genital area, including the vagina, anus, buttocks, or thighs
    • Swelling or tenderness in the lymph nodes of your legs and groin
