Herpes is transmitted and how to treat?
Herpes simplex virus is the causative agent of one of the most common skin diseases – genital herpes. This attitude to the prevalence of herpes due to the fact that according to statistics, 9 out of 10 people, one way or another, are carriers of the virus.
The main risk for the depending on the type of herpes infection occurs either through oral-genital contact or during intercourse. In any case, the necessary bodily contact with an infected person. The herpes virus enters the body cells and in the nucleus, the virus multiplies. After the virus penetrated into the cell, the changes occur in its structure, synthesis changes and begins to produce certain substances needed by the herpes for further reproduction.
That is why the herpes gives only relief, but hitting once in the body, it forever remains in it. Already 2 hours after entry into the body, the herpes virus changes the cell, and after 8 synthesizes the maximum amount of a new substance.
The transmission of the virus
As we have said, herpes is transmitted through contact with an infected carrier. However, it can be noted several ways:
- Direct contact, as we have said;
- Air drop path;
- Through the use of infected subjects, as a rule, a towel, a comb, a handkerchief;
- Vertical by is a variant in which herpes is inherited from mother to child during childbirth.
The life time of the virus
Enough 15 hours to primary the herpes virus made up to 100 new particles. To understand how we can become infected by contact with household items, we give simple examples of a lifetime of herpes on different surfaces and in different conditions:
- On metal herpes active within 2 hours after contact with an infected carrier;
- On plastic – 3 hours;
- On gauze bandages, especially in wet, herpes can live for 6 hours.
And in the nerve cells of our body, already modified form of the herpes lives life. While it is always prone to relapse, and that's enough for simple stress, excessive sunbathing, endocrine disorders, or a General decline of immunity.
The herpes virus can infect the fetus while in the womb. During pregnancy immunity is suppressed and some women significantly increases the risk of infection of the child. Ideally, to undergo examination before the intended conception, in order to exclude subsequently transmitting herpes. Your doctor may prescribespecial preventive treatment.
Prevention

As soon as the first suspected genital herpes, should the Choice of drugs is made according to their tolerability and possible side effects. Must be the drugs which can raise immunity, and force the body to produce its own defense mechanisms to fight the herpes.
Most often, the treatment involved "Tsikloferon", which reduces the susceptibility of cells to virus, improves immunity and stimulates the production of interferons. And the most effective treatment is achieved by the comprehensive use of "Cycloferon" in which the patient is taking the pills and use the ointment. Most importantly, the drug and its complex reception not only counteracts the virus, but also eliminates the possibility of bacterial infection.
