Herpes Virus Picture:
Herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two main types of herpes: HSV-1 and HSV-2.
HSV-1 is typically associated with oral herpes, causing cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth and on the face. It can also be transmitted through oral-genital contact, leading to genital herpes.
HSV-2 is primarily responsible for genital herpes, causing sores, blisters, and painful ulcers on or around the genitals or anus. However, it can also be transmitted through oral-genital contact.
