Keep Ya Dang Pants On!!!

This week in Matty Ice’s Blog we are discussing those pesky herpes simplex viruses 1 & 2 (HSV-1 & HSV-2).

There are two types of the herpes simplex viruses and they are HSV-1 and HSV-2. These two viruses affect many regions on the body including the genitals, the anal region, inside the mouth, and the skin. There is not a cure for herpes. So, if you are kissing some little boy and you come back with sore on your mouth is probably because you have HSV-1 and you are stuck with it for the rest of your life.

These two viruses are transmitted relatively easy if you are not careful with who you perform intimate relations with, especially since these viruses can be asymptomatic in carriers.

HSV-1, is transferred through direct contact with a person who has the virus. Direct contact includes oral to oral contact through saliva and the sores located in the mouth, oral sex where one’s mouth is exposed to sores on the genitals, and in rare cases can be transmitted from mother to new born.

HSV-2, is almost exclusively transmitted through sexual contact. HSV-2 can affect the mouth, genital, or the anal region. It is transmitted through direct contact with the sores or fluids from one who is infected. Contraction of HSV-2, increases your chances by 3 times of contracting HIV.

For more information on HSV-1 & HSV-2, I refer you to this website.

Prevention strategies for these viruses are relatively simple tell all of the f boys to get the hell out of ya face and that you aren’t interested in what they are giving out.

HSV-1 and HSV-2, prevention strategies are pretty similar: avoiding oral contact, abstain from oral sex, condoms are good protection but do not fully protect you from transmission as because there are areas the condom do not provide protection. The most successful strategy for prevention is ABSTINENCE!!! Everyone loves abstinence….

For more information on how to protect yourself from contraction of these virus follow this link for more tips on protection.

While I may not be able to protect your from Covid-19, I hope you take my blog serious and protect yourself from these viruses.

Matty Ice signing off! Peace! Abstinence!
