There is no medical cure and vaccine for herpes. Some natural products and some drugs have been effective in reducing the frequency and duration of herpes outbreaks. Researchers are currently working on herpes vaccines and it is estimated that vaccine will be available in several years. Herpes vaccine variations from 2002 were not sucessfull as there was absolutely no effect on men.

Herpes is caused by Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 is known as Oral Herpes or Cold Sores and HSV-2 as Genital Herpes.

HSV-1 (Simplexvirus, species Human herpesvirus 1) - Virus that usually causes the type of herpes simplex (Oral Herpes or Cold Sores) typically involving the lips, mouth, and face and sometimes nose. Visit herpesv section cold sore for more information regarding HSV-1 infections and symptoms.

HSV-2 - Virus that usually causes infections around genitals (genital herpes). Genital Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Visit herpesv section genital herpes for more information.

People with herpes infections must learn to control higher level stresses. It is recommended that if recurrences do take place, the patient should look carefully at the stresses in life to determine if changes need to be made. Many combinations of partners with and without herpes exist. Sometimes one partner has frequent oral outbreaks only. Perhaps one partner has frequent genital outbreaks. Sometimes both partners have genital herpes while in other cases one partner may have type 1 herpes in the genital area and the other partner type 2 herpes in the genital area.
