The herpes simplex virus is categorized into 2 types: HSV-1 and HSV-2.
Herpes virus type 1 causes oral herpes. And mainly transmitted by oral to oral contact.
Herpes virus type 2 is a sexually transmitted infection and it causes genital herpes.
Type 1 or Oral Herpes is mostly asymptomatic, but symptoms can include painful blisters or open sores (ulcers) in or around the mouth which is called cold sores.
Before appearance of blisters, the infected person can have some sensations on the skin like: Tingling, itching or burning around their mouth.
These symptoms can recur periodically, and the frequency varies from person to person.
The gold standard for diagnosing HSV-1 infection is HSV-1 serology.
Treatment: topical Docosanol, a saturated fatty alcohol is safe and effective against oral herpes. It is approved by FDA.
Also, the current recommendation is oral valacyclovir (2 grams twice daily for one day).
Effective antiviral medications include acyclovir and penciclovir.
Famciclovir or valacyclovir, taken in pill form, can be effective using a single day.
In immunocompromised patients, more aggressive treatment is needed.
People with symptoms of oral herpes should avoid oral contact with others including: kissing, oral sex, sharing objects that touched saliva.
It can be transmitted from oral or skin surfaces that appear normal; however, the greatest risk of transmission is when there are active sores
Symptoms of Genital Herpes:
Genital herpes can be asymptomatic or have mild symptoms that go unrecognized.
When symptoms occur, it characterized by one or more genital or anal blisters or ulcers. Additionally, symptoms of a new infection often include fever, body aches and swollen lymph nodes.
After an initial episode, which can be severe, symptoms may recur.
Genital herpes or type 2 herpes transmitted during sex through contact with genital or anal surfaces of someone infected with the virus. HSV-2 can be transmitted even if the skin looks normal and is often transmitted in the absence of symptoms.
In Case of genital Herpes, Primary infections with multiple ulcerating lesions will resolve after approximately 19 days, regardless of treatment interventions.
Treatment:
Acyclovir 400 mg tablets orally, 3 Times per day, for 7 to 10 days.
Valacyclovir 500 mg. 2 times per day. For 7-10 days.
In immunocompromised people, both herpes can have serious and severe symptoms, including meningoencephalitis. Brain inflammation. It can be fatal in case of both of herpes types.

Genital herpes is a common type of sexually transmitted disease or infection. It is more common in women than men. The infection commonly affects your genitals, which are the reproductive organs inside and outside of your body. It can also affect your buttocks, anal area, or mouth. Genital herpes is most often caused by the herpes simplex virus type two, or HSV-2. While herpes simplex virus type one, or HSV-1, may cause genital herpes as well, it more commonly infects the lips, mouth, or gums. It causes painful blisters, often referred to as cold sores. This is called oral herpes. Occasionally, HSV-2 can also cause oral herpes. You can catch the herpes virus from an infected person through close, personal contact during genital or oral sex. The virus can enter your body through a break in your skin, or through the tissue that lines many of your body cavities, including the tissue lining your mouth and genitals. Once inside the skin, the virus can multiply within your cells. This damages the cells and inflames your skin, causing painful sores as your body tries to control the infection. As your skin begins to heal, some viruses enter branches of your nerve cells, called axons. The virus travels through the axons to an area near your spinal cord, where they become dormant, or inactive. This is known as the herpes latent stage. At a later time, certain triggers can make the virus active again, such as stress, illness, exposure to sunlight, and having your period. When this happens, the virus can return down your axons to your skin, causing another round of sores. The main risk for getting genital herpes is having oral, anal, or vaginal sex with a person who is infected. There is a higher risk of an infected male passing it to an uninfected female during vaginal sex than an infected female passing it to an uninfected male. This may happen because the tissue in a woman’s vagina is more prone to small tears, enabling the virus to enter the body. Your risk of infection also goes up as the number of sex partners you have increases. If you have the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, you have an increased risk of getting genital herpes. Many people never have symptoms. And there are no symptoms during latent stages. But symptoms of an active infection in women include painful sores or blisters in the genital area. Common sites include the genitals on the outside of your body, also known as the vulva, the vagina, cervix, anus, thighs, and buttocks. In men, the common sites of sores or blisters include the penis, scrotum, anus, thighs, and buttocks. In both men and women, sores may also be found on the lips, tongue, gums, eyes, and fingers. Other symptoms include painful or difficult urination, feeling unwell or having flu-like symptoms, and swollen lymph nodes in the groin. In people with a weakened immune system, such as those with HIV, genital sores can be severe and long-lasting. If your immune system is weak, the herpes virus may also spread to other parts of your body, such as the brain and spinal cord, eyes, esophagus, lungs, and liver. And, during vaginal childbirth, women can also pass the herpes virus to their newborn baby if they become infected or have a secondary outbreak near their delivery date. There is no cure for genital herpes. Once infected, your body will always harbor the virus. People who aren’t sexually active and rarely or never have symptoms may not need any treatment. But your healthcare provider can prescribe an antiviral medication to prevent or reduce symptoms, such as acyclovir or valacyclovir. If you only have a few outbreaks a year, you may only need antiviral medication during each outbreak. This is called episodic therapy. If you have many outbreaks a year, or if you are sexually active, you may take antiviral medication daily. This is called suppressive therapy. It can prevent outbreaks, reduce how many outbreaks you have, reduce how long outbreaks last, and reduce the risk of passing genital herpes to a sex partner. If you have genital herpes, taking antiviral medication and using latex condoms during sex can help prevent its spread to others. To find out more about genital herpes, talk to your healthcare provider.

Genital warts are a dermatologic manifestation of a sexually transmitted infection, caused by the epidermotropic human papilloma virus.
Risk factors for getting genital warts include, having multiple sex partners, smoking, use of oral contraceptive pills, and sexual intercourse at a very young age.
Human papilloma virus is a double stranded DNA virus, which has more than 100 different types.
Out of these, about 35 types have the affinity to genital sites.
There are two categories of genital HPV exist: the low-risk benign type, and the high-risk neoplastic type.
Low risk types 6 and 11 are responsible for most genital warts, accounting for more than 90% of cases.
Warts caused by these strains are least likely to be transformed into malignancy.
Frequently affected sites include penis, vulva and the vagina, uterine cervix, perineum, and peri anal region.
Occasionally, oropharynx; larynx; and trachea can be affected due to oral sex. The disease is primarily transmitted via sexual intercourse. However, less frequently, it can be transmitted by direct contact, and indirect contact through fomites.
They appear as multiple, painless bumps, often associated with pruritis and discharge. In most cases, more than one area is involved. In addition, there may be features of other co existent sexually transmitted infections.
Rarely, urethral bleeding may occur due to obstruction of the urethral meatus. Peri anal lesions may be seen in individuals who have anal sex. Complications of genital warts include local disfigurement, transformation into genitourinary malignancies, transmission to the child during delivery. And recurrence.
If left untreated, three things can happen.
They may resolve spontaneously, or progress into larger lesions with an increase in their number, or remain unchanged.
Major treatment options include the following.
Cryotherapy, where liquid nitrogen is sprayed to ablate the lesions, electrodessication and curettage, surgical excision of the lesions, which has the highest success rate and lowest recurrence rate, carbon dioxide laser treatment, which requires local, regional, or general anesthesia, and infrared coagulation, which causes tissue coagulation and necrosis.
Medical therapy includes acid applications. Interferon injections. And medications for house use, including imiquimod cream, podofilox gel or solution, and anti-proliferative agents such as 5 fluorouracil.
