Genital Herpes
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It results in painful sores or blisters on the genital area. Transmission occurs through skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity. There is no cure for genital herpes, but antiviral medications can manage outbreaks and symptoms.
