There are two types of the virus that causes herpes, the herpes simplex virus (HSV) type-1 and type-2. HSV type 1 is more common in the face, eyes and throat while HSV type 2 triggers infection in the genital or genital area.

There are three things that can awaken the herpes virus from hibernation or sleep length.
1. Sunlight
A study published in the American Sports Medicine reveals the relationship between oral herpes with sunlight, especially ultraviolet-B (UV-B). Mentioned, the skier who often bask have a higher risk for relapse oral herpes.Rhoda Ashley Morrow, PhD, a virologist from the Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle said that risk can be prevented by sunscreen. According to him, SPF-36 have been powerful enough to ward off 100 percent of UV-B.
2. Stress
All the things that trigger stress can weaken the immune system. In these conditions, the herpes virus can rise and trigger an infection, especially in the throat, causing inflammation.A study published in the journal Antiviral Research said, the recurrence of herpes due to stress can be prevented with red wine. Not only because it can relieve stress, direct contact with the alcohol can also prevent bangkutnya herpes virus and prevent infection in the throat.
3. Remove the gear
Dentists from Nova Southeastern University in Ft Lauderdale, Michael A Siegel, DDS said that the recurrence of herpes can be triggered by trauma that occur in the oral cavity. One form of trauma is tooth extractions and injections in the gums.If you experience symptoms of sore throat in 12 hours after tooth extraction, contact your doctor to get antivirus. These preventive measures need to be done, especially if you have a history of herpes attacks up to 4 times a year.
How to Avoid Illness Herpes
Many people do not realize that he had been infected with the herpes virus because sometimes herpes does not cause symptoms. How is herpes disease transmission and how to avoid them?There are two types of herpes that can infect humans, namely herpes zooster (shingles) that looks like chickenpox and genital herpes (herpes simplex).
Both diseases are caused by a different virus infection. If zooster herpes disease caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV), genital herpes disease caused by Herpes HSV-2 (Herpes Simplex Virus 2). Both of these diseases are different, but both are contagious disease.
Modes of transmission.
1. The disease is genital herpes (genital).
Transmission is through direct skin contact is from the infected area to the affected areas.For example, when someone who is infected kissing or having sex such as oral, vaginal or anal, it can cause infected partner.
This type of herpes most contagious if someone is sick condition, usually characterized by itching, tingling and other sensations before appear any of the skin.
2. zooster herpes disease.
This disease usually affects adults who have immune system is declining. The herpes virus is everywhere but if someone has a good immune system, it rarely affected by this condition.Varicella zoster virus is a virus that also causes smallpox. If the person has been exposed to smallpox rarely exposed to herpes zooster.
In contrast to smallpox, herpes zooster results in pain and tremendous pain. And location of the disease only occurs in some side of the body. Sometimes there are also attacking the eyes, face, neck, around the ears and the tip of the nose.
The first symptom is pain felt in one particular area. Followed by a rash which contains a liquid whose characteristics are similar to chickenpox. If scratched can lead to infection.
How to avoid
There are several ways you can do to avoid genital herpes infections, namely:
