Meet Positives Clears The Air About Herpes Facts And Myths
Jun 4, 2020
June 04, 2020 - /PressAdvantage/ - Herpes is a common infection that affects genitals or the mouth. Most people do not understand this infection and this leads to half truths and myths. To clear the air, Meet Positives has released a post aimed at highlighting the herpes facts and myths. This post is all about truth about herpes and the myths that confuse most people. With these facts, people infectected and affected by herpes can protect themselves and those around them.
According to this post, "If I use a condom, I won’t get herpes. While condoms can significantly reduce the chances of becoming infected with the virus, the only foolproof way to prevent an HSV-2 transmission is to practice abstinence. According to JustHerpes.com, there is only a four to 10 percent chance that those infected will transmit herpes during an asymptomatic period—even without a condom. With a condom, the chances plunge to about one or two percent.
"During an active outbreak, however, the chances of transmitting herpes during unprotected sex may be as high as 75 percent. Using a condom will significantly reduce those chances (to about eight percent), but because herpes is transmitted via skin-to-skin contact, and condoms leave parts of the genital region exposed, it is still possible to contract the virus while using a condom.
"One of the most frequently asked questions among recently diagnosed women pertains to pregnancy. Luckily, the majority of women who become pregnant and have herpes go on to deliver healthy babies. So long as the mother carrying the virus is not experiencing an outbreak during the time of a vaginal delivery, it is extremely unlikely that she will pass herpes along to her newborn.
"Although there is little risk of transmitting the disease to a newborn during an asymptomatic period, it is still important to let your physician know about your STD status, so that he or she can monitor symptoms closely. If at the time of labor you are experiencing an outbreak, a physician will likely recommend a cesarean section (c-section)."
