Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection generally caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which consists of two types: HSV type 1 and HSV type 2.
Sexual contact is the primary means of transmission of the virus. However, it can also enter the body through the mouth and skin. Most people with genital herpes are unaware that they are infected, making it easy to spread.
So, what are the symptoms of this disease? And can it be completely cured, or can it recur?
In this video, Dr. Alexander Chandra, Sp.KK, a dermatologist and venereologist at Pondok Indah Hospital – Puri Indah, explains all about genital herpes.
