About herpes simplex virus, I condensed it from books:

Pathogen: Genital herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 2 infection;

Source of infection: patients and carriers;

Transmission route: direct close contact and sexual contact can invade the body through oral cavity, respiratory tract, genital mucosa and damaged skin, and genital herpes of pregnant women can infect newborns during delivery;

Types of infection: primary infection, latent infection (type 2 latent in sacral ganglion), recurrent infection, congenital infection and neonatal infection, which may induce cervical cancer;

Prevention and treatment principle: avoiding contact with patients or injecting specific antibodies into people with medical sensitivity can reduce the risk of HSV transmission. Acyclovir can inhibit HSV infection, but it is difficult to eliminate latent virus.
