Herpes Transmission
from:Transmission of the herpes simplex virus is via direct contact with the skin lesions of an affected individual or having sexual intercourse with someone who is infected. The virus is transmitted straight from the site of infection to the site of contact. Oral herpes, for example, can be passed on through kissing. Genital herpes can be contacted through vaginal and anal intercourse. Oral sex also results to herpes transmission.
The herpes simplex virus is easily spread when there is direct contact with the open sores or blisters (active herpes) but it may also propagate without any visible skin lesions (asymptomatic viral shedding). When a person infected with the virus starts experiencing prodromal symptoms such as itching or tingling, the virus is already present on the skin and it can already spread via contact with the affected part. Even without any apparent symptoms, herpes transmission may occur. People who are unaware that they have the virus may propagate the virus as viral shedding still occurs even without noticeable symptoms.
Herpes transmission includes self-infection when a person touches the affected area and spread the infection to other parts of the body he lays his hand on such as the eyes, fingers, chest, and so on.
A newborn baby may acquire the herpes simplex virus from his infected mother. It is important for a pregnant woman to make sure she does not have the virus. A doctor may request for a test to check for the presence of the virus as the woman goes into labor. A normal vaginal delivery is deemed safe when no virus particles are present in the birth canal and when there are no symptoms of the virus outbreak; otherwise a caesarian section is indicated to protect the baby from coming into contact with the virus in the vaginal area. Herpes transmission to babies and small children also occur when they are kissed by someone with cold sores as their juvenile immune system may not be able to fight off the virus.
Incredibly unusual ways of herpes transmission occur through contact with toilet seats, bath tubs or towels as the virus survives for a very short time away from the human host.
