Kissing is a normal activity for all, but not everyone knows that kissing can transmit herpes infections because the disease is a contagious disease. Herpes is a kind of disease that infects the mouth, skin, and genitals.
Herpes caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) which is divided into types of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1, often referred to as cold sores) or Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2) The disease causes blisters and pain in muscles in surrounding area affected. Until recently, the disease is still not curable, but can be avoided.
Chairman AHMF (Australian Herpes Management Forum) Director Tricia Berger says, “Kissing showing love and affection to the people we love, is also one major cause herpes outbreaks. If you are infected with the herpes virus around your mouth, chances are you will also transmit the herpes virus to people who you kiss.”
This makes it possible to send a virus though no injuries or symptoms that appear on your self, if there is a higher risk of injury were visible. Anyone in this world will not transmit herpes virus to people whom he loved. Once you have been infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2, the virus stays in your body for life, and can be active or to grow back all the time.
More than 75 percent of people in Australia carry HSV-1 (which normally causes cold cuts, and also cause about 40 percent of genital herpes), usually suffered by children due to be kissed by relatives. Approximately 12 percent of adults in Australia contracted HSV-2, the most common cause of genital herpes.
When someone is infected with the herpes virus, they have no specific symptoms and may be infected without any symptoms at all for HSV-1. So be careful that you are not infected or infected with herpes the people you love.
