Genital Herpes Screening & Tests
Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). A genital herpes infection usually causes painful ulcers or sores in or around your anus or genital area. These usually develop four to seven days after you have been infected. You may also have pain when you pass urine and a stinging or tingling in your anus or genital area. You may also feel generally unwell. Some people don't have any symptoms or have sores that aren't painful. After the first 'primary' episode you may have repeat attacks of herpes. These don't tend to be as severe as the first attack and don't last as long (10 days compared with 20 days for the primary episode).
There is no treatment to remove the herpes virus from your body. However, your doctor can prescribe antiviral tablets, which can help the outbreak clear up faster and reduce the severity of your symptoms.
