Pathway 1: Confusion in private life. Genital contact (sexual intercourse) is one of the main ways of transmission of genital herpes. Men and women who have an unhygienic sex life between husband and wife, or who have multiple sexual partners with a chaotic private life, are at high risk of contracting genital herpes. Therefore, to prevent genital herpes, you have to start with yourself, regulate your sex life and avoid unhygienic sex. Route 2: Blood transmission. One of the more common ways of transmission of genital herpes is blood transmission. The route of infection is usually through intravenous injection, or repeated multiple injections with a single syringe. Route 3: Mother-to-child transmission. This is one of the common ways genital herpes is transmitted. Pregnant women carry the genital herpes virus in their own blood, and while the fetus is in the mother’s body, the virus can soak into the fetus through the placenta. Thus the baby is born with the genital herpes virus. Route 4: Passive infection. An ordinary healthy person can be forced to become infected by coming into contact with the affected area and its bodily fluids. In addition, healthy people can be forced to become infected when they touch or use the patient’s clothing, household utensils, syringes, etc. Route 5: Airborne transmission. The herpes virus can be mixed with saliva and spread through the air, and normal people are infected through the respiratory tract. Ordinary people can be directly infected by kissing the patient.
