About Herpes test

Change me!!!Herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (1 or 2) and is very common - most sexually active people will contract the herpes virus although many will show no symptoms. Once infected, herpes often causes recurring symptoms although these may become milder as the body's antibodies become more effective. herpes is spread through skin to skin contact and the virus easily enters the body through the mucous membranes. It is not a serious condition although it can cause discomfort especially in the early stages. The herpes virus can be passed to babies during the birth if the mother has become infected during the final trimester and has yet to pass on sufficient antibodies to her unborn baby.
