Studies show that about 70% of
herpes virus infected people don't get an obvious outbreak. If you want to make sure whether or not you have the herpes simplex virus type 1, go to a
specialist doctor, and have your blood examined.
Although some symptoms may seem just ordinary skin rashes, you still have to consult a doctor and let the signs be diagnosed. Get a herpes virus test, by undergoing a specific blood test for herpes. Don't be scared to know if you have the virus. This will help you to treat the disease. Knowledge about this will save you from the outbreak.
Safe
sexual activity is one of the most recommended ways to prevent you from getting the virus. If you are a guy, use a latex condom; and if a girl, insist your partner to use a condom for protection. But this cannot guarantee that you are already free from herpes. Self-restraint from sex will definitely work out. Also, you should not disregard the transferring saliva as another way to acquire the virus.
Prevention is better than cure, so if you can still prevent the herpes to infect you, do it so.
