What is Herpes?
Herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two main types:
- HSV-1 typically causes oral herpes and cold sores.
- HSV-2 usually causes genital herpes.
Both virus types can infect either area of the body. Many people with herpes are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. For others, painful blisters and sores occur during outbreaks.
While not curable, herpes is manageable, especially with early intervention. Treatments can ease discomfort during outbreaks and reduce recurrence.
Herpes Treatment Options
At Z Med Clinic and Med Spa, we create customized herpes treatment plans that may include:
- Antiviral Medications: Prescription drugs like Valtrex control viral replication and shorten outbreaks, reducing transmission risk.
- Immune-Boosting Therapies: IV nutrient therapy can strengthen the immune response to suppress herpes virus.
- Ozone Therapy: Ozone gas infusion has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties to inhibit outbreaks.
- Laser Therapy: Advanced treatment speeds up healing of herpes lesions.
- Lifestyle Support: We offer dietary and stress reduction counseling for managing herpes.

Understanding Herpes: Transmission, Diagnosis, and Management
Herpes is a common STI that can affect sexually active people. Understanding transmission, symptoms, and management is crucial for sexual health and preventing the virus spread.
Can You Sleep with Someone with Herpes and Not Get It?
It’s possible to have sexual contact with someone with herpes and not contract the virus, but the risk is always present. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) spreads through skin-to-skin contact, including oral, anal, and vaginal sex.
Even when using condoms or other barrier methods, there is a chance of transmission because herpes can live on areas not protected by condoms, such as the buttocks, upper thighs, and labia.
To reduce the risk, avoid sex during an outbreak, use condoms and dental dams consistently, and consider antiviral medication.
How to Know if Someone Has Herpes
Many people with herpes may not show symptoms or have mild symptoms, such as itchy or painful genital blisters, burning during urination, and flu-like symptoms.
If you suspect herpes, get tested. A healthcare provider can swab a sore or perform a blood test for herpes antibodies.
Can Herpes Go Away After 20 Years?
Herpes is a lifelong infection. Though it can become less active, it doesn’t disappear. People can manage symptoms with medication and lifestyle changes to reduce stress, which triggers outbreaks.
Can I Spread Herpes to My Family?
Herpes spreads through sexual and non-sexual contact via herpes sores. Avoid sharing items that may have touched sores, such as towels or lip balm, and refrain from close physical contact during an outbreak to prevent spreading the virus to family members.
What Will a Doctor Do If You Have Herpes?
If diagnosed with herpes, a doctor will discuss treatment options. Antiviral medications can reduce outbreaks and transmission risk. Your doctor may also provide advice on managing symptoms and preventing virus spread.
How Long Can a Man Carry Herpes Without Knowing?
Both men and women can carry the herpes virus without knowing for years, as it can remain dormant in the body.
Some may never experience symptoms, while others may have mild symptoms that are not recognized as herpes. Regular testing and paying attention to any unusual genital symptoms can help identify the infection.
