On average, someone with recurrent genital herpes (HSV2) will have 4 to 5 outbreaks a year. They can happen often or once in a while. Many people notice that the outbreaks lessen in frequency and severity with time.
What can start an outbreak?
Several factors may cause the herpes virus to become active again. Trigger factors will vary from one person to another person, and usually can't be avoided. Some outbreak triggers are believed to be the menstrual cycle, stress, sexual intercourse, injury, another illness (especially with fever), surgical trauma, steroidal medication (eg, asthma medication), and unhealthy diet.
When is herpes contagious?
Even if you don't see or feel any symptoms, you can still acquire the active herpes simplex virus in your body.
How can I reduce the spread of herpes?
Genital herpes simplex virus can still be spread to a sex partner even if you have no symptoms. Most of the new cases of genital herpes are caught from someone who has an active herpes infection, with no symptoms. So, if you've ever had genital herpes, it is important to always practice safer sex so as to not infect your partner.
You should not have vaginal, oral, or anal sex with uninfected partners when you have active symptoms, such as sores. You should wait until they are completely healed. Between outbreaks, use a condom during sex. Neither of these methods is completely perfect, but they will help prevent the spread of the herpes virus.
What else can I do to help relieve the discomfort of an outbreak?
Take your medicines as your physician prescribes, and also you should always:
Keep the genital area clean and dry
Wear loose-fitting fabrics
Place a cool or lukewarm cloth on the affected herpes area
Try not to touch the affected area
If you do touch the herpes blisters, wash your hands with warm water and strong germ-killing soap immediately
