Infection rate of genital herpes

summary

How much does genital herpes infect a chance to have? Almost 100%. Therefore, people should pay enough attention to the prevention of genital herpes is very important, let me explain why genital herpes infection rate is so high.

Infection rate of genital herpes

First of all, it has been clinically proved that the most important way of transmission of genital herpes is sexual contact, and this way accounts for 90% of the infection rate of genital herpes. Due to the thin cortex of genital herpes, when having sex, the virus flows out due to the friction of the genitals, and then infects.

Secondly, indirect contact is also the main way to cause genital herpes infection, because genital herpes patients' clothes, bedding or toilet, towel, etc. will remain certain secretions, so, in contact with the items used by patients, they will be indirectly infected, and those with damaged wounds are more likely to be infected.

Finally, another way of transmission that is difficult to avoid is mother to child transmission. If pregnant women suffer from genital herpes, then when they give birth naturally, the fetus will pass through the birth canal, and then they will be infected with genital herpes virus. At the same time, the use of genital herpes infected blood can also lead to genital herpes infection.

matters needing attention

Through my explanation, I believe you already know the transmission probability of genital herpes. If you have genital herpes, you will carry it for life, but you can carry it without getting sick. The infectivity is related to the number of virus in your body. If you control it well and stop the replication of virus in your body, then the transmissibility will be greatly reduced.
