Were you looking for information about Genital Herpes? General herpes is a common misspelling of genital herpes.
Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted disease that is caused by the herpes simplex virus. Once you are infected with the virus, it stays in your body and may cause herpes outbreaks. During an outbreak, blisters can form around your genitals or rectum that may take up to four weeks to heal. Although genital herpes is incurable, many medications are available to prevent future outbreaks.
