It is a virus that causes painful, open wounds on genitals. In large measure you can avoid it by using condoms. Read more about this extremely unpleasant infection.

Genital herpes is a very common sexually transmitted disease. But it is interesting that some people can be just carriers of the virus, and although they are infected, their disease is not shown.
We know two types of genital herpes: herpes simplex 1 and herpes simplex 2. The second type is the most common cause of herpes on genitals, and both can cause herpes on the lips and genitals. The virus enters the body through any mucous membrane. Virus causes painful bubbles that itch, wounds in the vagina, anus or in the vicinity of the two openings, and in men wounds on the genitals, usually on the penis head.
Incubation time before the outbreak of symptoms usually lasts 12 to 14 days, and then there are shorter and somewhat milder outbreaks of symptoms from four to five days. Genital herpes is extremely virulent virus if you have physical contact with the infected, especially during sex, because the mucous membranes of both partners are in narrow contact in more places. Very effective measure for prevention of infection is the use of condoms, but it is not completely reliable.
Experts do not know exactly why some people have virus outbreaks, while others do not. We have stress probably largely to blame. Cure for this extremely unpleasant virus does not exist, but there are several medications that successfully reduce symptoms while they do not disappear.
It is especially dangerous if pregnant women are infected by the virus.
Virus is in fact transmitted during the birth to the newborn and causes painful blistering and damages the eyes, internal organs and brain. Terrifying is the fact that every six newborn who is infected with genital herpes, dies. The only way to prevent transmission is caesarean section.

Herpes zoster oticus

Herpes zoster oticus (HZ oticus) can be a complication of shingles, an infection brought on by the varicella-zosthttp://bluewafflediseaseblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/this-is-blog-about-new-std-on-web-or-at.htmler virus (VZV) which also causes chickenpox. It really is a lot more likely to take place in individuals who have had chickenpox earlier and represents a reactivation with the dormant varicella-zoster virus. The virus spreads to the facial and sensory nerves innervating the ear with geniculate ganglion which is responsible for HZ oticus. The virus transmits via direct proximity with the cranial nerve (CN) VIII to CN VII in the cerebellopontine angle or by means of vasa vasorum that travel from CN VII to other nearby cranial nerves.
