Genital herpes is mainly transmitted through sexual contact. The disease is highly contagious. About 80% of women who have one-time contact with men with penile herpes may be infected. In addition, clothes, bedding, toilets and bath towels used by genital herpes patients may be contaminated by the patient's secretions and carry the genital herpes virus. Genital herpes is transmitted through sexual intercourse and can reside in the skin and mucous membrane cells of the human genitals for a long time. It does not leave the human body and can temporarily avoid illness. However, when the body's resistance is reduced, such as by colds, fever, lesion infection, menstrual disorders, gastrointestinal dysfunction, allergic reactions, drinking, overwork, and even emotional changes, the body's resistance can be reduced and the latent herpes virus can be reactivated, causing an outbreak.
