Herpes Simplex Factsheet

This fact sheet outlines that herpes simplex virus (HSV‑1 and HSV‑2) is a common, lifelong infection causing oral or genital blisters, transmitted via skin-to-skin or saliva contact—even when asymptomatic—and managed through antiviral treatment and preventive measures. It emphasizes that many individuals are unaware of their infection and underscores the role of condoms and suppressive therapy in reducing symptom recurrence and transmission.
