There are many different ways to explain herpes virus to a non-viral audience. A simple one is that it is usually asymptomatic in its early stages, but once it spreads, it can be as hard to put down as it is to get rid of. I understand that it can be asymptomatic from birth to age 20, but a more common way to explain it is that it is asymptomatic early on, but it starts to become symptomatic shortly after.
The exact timing isn’t important to the majority of people, but the symptoms of herpes virus usually manifest by age 10. That seems to be the exact age most people with herpes get it. Unfortunately, it is also the case that if you have been exposed to the virus and you get it, you get it again in the same way (but usually in a different way).
You need herpes to have genital herpes, but you need herpes to have oral herpes, and you need herpes to have both. It’s kind of like having a cold, but not having a cold.
Well, you don’t even need a cold to have both, you just need an infection. Like if you have herpes, and you have a cold, then you have a cold. And you can have herpes without a cold, but you can’t have a cold without herpes. So you can have both your cold and herpes without having herpes, but you can’t have both a cold and herpes without one, which sounds confusing.
The good news is that you cant have herpes without a cold. The bad news is that you can have both a cold and herpes without being infected by either, but you cant have both a cold and herpes without one of them, which sounds confusing.
If you have both herpes and a cold, you have herpes and a cold, and if you have both herpes and a cold, you have herpes and a cold.
In the current state of the art, herpes is treated as a contagious disease. A person can get herpes from one person infecting them and then spreading this infection to someone else. This is why you can’t have herpes without a cold. If you have herpes, you have a cold, and if you have herpes and a cold, you have herpes and a cold.
But the virus is still not in your body. It’s in your throat, nose, and mouth. The herpes virus is actually alive inside you, even inside your cells, which means that once you start getting infected, you will be infected long before you can be stopped from spreading the virus.
The problem is that some people have herpes and get this virus (which is what you’re thinking is happening here) and start spreading it everywhere by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. That is called primary herpes and is the most severe stage of the infection, since people with primary herpes are at risk of all kinds of serious complications, including blindness, difficulty breathing, and in some cases, even death. That’s why you need to get tested if you think you may have herpes.
In that situation, the herpes usually goes away in a few days or weeks. But there are some who live outside the body for a long time. For those people, the virus can persist and cause lifelong infection. The most severe case of herpes outside of the body is called Kaposi’s sarcoma, which is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
