Everything You Know About Herpes is Wrong!

HSV-1 develops during childhood

Surprisingly, most individuals who carry HSV-1 are actually infected with the virus during childhood from some form of contact with the cold sores of another infected individual. Part of the reason that there is such a huge stigma surrounding herpes may be that there isn’t a known cure. Unfortunately, this is a fact and not a rumor. Although there isn’t any known method currently for getting rid of either the HSV-1 or HSV-2 virus, there are medications and treatments available that can manage the symptoms.
