What is genitalis Herpes?

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) passed on through vaginal, anal or oral sex. Treatment from a sexual health clinic can help, symptoms clear up on their own but can come back.There are two different types of the virus (type 1 and type 2), both of which can affect the genitals. One of the types is the same virus that causes cold sores around the mouth (type 1). Genital herpes causes painful blisters and sores on and around the genitals(type 2). It can also sometimes cause problems if it's caught for the first time either very early or very late in pregnancy.
