Genital herpes is a highly contagious and dangerous sexually transmitted disease. Most people know only one way of transmission of genital herpes, but in fact, besides sexual contact, there are three ways of transmission of genital herpes: indirect contact transmission, blood-borne transmission and placental transmission. The actual fact is that you will find a lot of people who have been in contact with a lot of people who have been contaminated by genital herpes, and they will probably be infected with genital herpes virus. The genital herpes virus is mainly transmitted through wound contact, so you should pay attention to small wounds on your body and avoid close contact with genital herpes patients to avoid triggering genital herpes. The actual fact is that you will find a lot of people who are in the incubation period of the herpes virus, but there is no obvious clinical manifestation, and if a healthy person enters the blood provided by the carrier of the genital herpes virus, it is easy to have a blood-borne infection, and then induce genital herpes. If a woman suffers from genital herpes during pregnancy and fails to detect and treat it in time, the genital herpes virus will be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta and blood circulation, causing the fetus to develop genital herpes before birth, which is why many newborns are detected to have genital herpes when they are first born.
