Sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs, are contagious infections that spread through sexual contact. Herpes is a common STD that can cause genital and oral infections. STDs are typically transmitted via oral, vaginal, and anal sex. People can also be infected through kissing and skin-to-skin contact. The symptoms of an STD can include sores, pain, and itching. In some cases, people do not show any obvious signs of an STD infection. It’s important to realize that people without symptoms can still transmit the virus.
There is no cure for STDs such as genital herpes. However, infected people may benefit from STD treatments. STDs can stay dormant inside the body for weeks, months, or even years. In most cases, the STD will eventually reactivate. When the virus is active, it can cause painful symptoms during the outbreak. STD treatments can address the symptoms of STDs. Medications can speed recovery, lower the risk of future outbreaks, and reduce the likelihood of transmitting an STD infection.

Herpes is a common STD. It can be caused by one of the following viruses:
• Herpes Simplex-1. This virus typically causes oral infections. However, it can be spread to the genitals via oral sex.
• Herpes Simplex-2. This virus usually causes genital infections. It typically spreads via direct sexual contact. Herpes simplex-2 is very contagious. People without visible symptoms can still transmit the virus.
You can catch an STD without exchanging body fluids with your sexual partner. The virus can be transmitted via skin-to-skin contact. You are not likely to get an STD from a toilet seat, towel, or other personal items.
Certain STD treatments can help people prevent future outbreaks. These medications can also speed recovery and reduce symptom severity. The most popular STD medications are Denavir, Famvir, Valtrex, and Acyclovir. These STD treatments are typically taken orally for up to 10 days. If the infection does not subside within 10 days, you may need additional STD treatment. Severe STD outbreaks can be treated intravenously with acyclovir.
People with STDs can choose one of the following STD treatment options:
• Intermittent therapy. People who choose this STD treatment option only take medication when they experience an outbreak. It is a good choice for people who experience infrequent outbreaks. When using this method, you can contact your doctor as soon as you notice symptoms. Timely STD treatment can reduce the severity of the outbreak and help you heal faster.
• Suppressive therapy. People who choose this STD treatment option take medication on a daily basis. It is a good choice for people who experience several outbreaks per year. STD treatment can help people prevent frequent outbreaks. Suppressive therapy reduces the number of active viral cells on the skin. This can help lower the risk of spreading the infection to your sexual partner.Many people with STDs do not notice any signs or symptoms of infection. In other cases, the symptoms of an STD infection can be mild to severe. Common STD symptoms may include:
• Burning, itching, and soreness in the genitals • Open sores and wet ulcers in the genitals • Pain during urination • Inflamed lymph nodes in the groin • Muscle pain and headaches • Fever and flu-like symptoms
The symptoms of an STD can develop days, weeks, months, or even years after infection. In some cases, the virus will stay dormant in the body for a very long time. Some people may never notice any symptoms. People who have an initial outbreak are more likely to experience repeated outbreaks in the future. Outbreaks can be triggered by environmental factors and emotional distress. If you experience an outbreak, contact a doctor for STD treatment.
People with an STD outbreak should avoid oral, vaginal, and anal sex. You may choose to have sex between outbreaks. However, you should tell your sexual partner about the risk of STD infection. Your can still spread the infection when the virus is dormant. Using a condom may help prevent the infection from spreading.
Certain factors can trigger an STD outbreak. The specific triggers are different for every person. Common triggers may include:
• Friction and irritation during sex • Hormonal changes • Lowered immunity • Surgery or injury
STD outbreaks can be treated with FDA-approved medications such as Denavir, Famvir, Valtrex, and Acyclovir. Topical medications are typically not as effective as oral medications. The most effective STD treatment is intravenous Acyclovir. This STD treatment is typically only used to help people with severe outbreaks.
If you have an outbreak, contact your doctor immediately for STD treatment. Wear light clothing and avoid excessive sun exposure to prevent irritation and pain. In some cases, perfumes, fragrances, douches, and feminine deodorants can irritate sores during an outbreak. You may also wish to take an over-the-counter pain medication to reduce pain.
People who have frequent outbreaks should contact a doctor for STD treatment. In some cases, suppressive therapy can control STD symptoms and prevent future outbreaks. Your doctor can help you choose the right STD treatment for your situation. If you have an STD, always follow the treatment plan provided by your doctor.
