HERPES SIMPLEX

Herpes simplex – otherwise known as cold sores – usually attacks the mouth and lips but can involve other parts of the body. For example, herpes can affect the eyes. There is also a type of herpes simplex virus that affects the genitalia and is, currently, one of the most feared venereal diseases in the world. Scientists are still looking for a cure for the herpes simplex virus and, although a vaccine has been prepared, it is likely that it will be some time before the virus is completely eradicated. There are some prescribable treatments available for herpes so, if you think you have this problem, it is worth visiting your physician.
