hsv-2
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV-2) is a common sexually transmitted infection that primarily causes genital herpes. It belongs to the Herpesviridae family of viruses and it's typically spread via sexual contact with an infected person. The virus resides in nerve cells where it can remain dormant for a period of time. Symptoms can include painful blisters on the genitals or anus, though many people with the virus display no symptoms. There's currently no cure for HSV-2, but antiviral medications can manage outbreaks and lower the chance of transmission.
