Is herpes contagious?

summary

My colleague, who is 33 years old this year, feels uncomfortable in his lower body. He went to the hospital to check. The doctor said it was herpes. He usually pays great attention to his own health. Patients with this disease should be treated as soon as possible. Now I will tell you about whether herpes is contagious.

Is herpes contagious?

First of all: sexual transmission is the main way of transmission. In the process of sexual intercourse, even if the skin and mucous membrane cracks are very small, when the epidermal cells or keratin containing a large number of virus particles enter, it is likely to be infected, so it is most likely to occur in people with chaotic sexual relations. 2 / 3 of the people who have sexual contact with condyloma acuminatum can have the disease.

Secondly, the infectivity was the strongest in 3 months, and then decreased with the increase of disease stage. Some patients can be infected indirectly by the objects they have contacted, such as underwear, bathtub, bath towel, bedpan, etc.

Finally: it can also be transmitted through the contact of flying behavior in the family. Scratching pudenda with contaminated hands or using contaminated towels can also cause infection of condyloma acuminatum. The cause of infection is not to pay attention to pudendal hygiene or absorption before defecation. Mother to child transmission: after the mother is sick, in the process of childbirth, she will contact with the child through the birth canal or after the birth of the child, thus causing the child infection.
