How can I catch it?

From having vaginal, anal or oral sex from someone already infected. Remember if someone has a cold sore on their mouth and have oral sex, they could pass that sore onto someone’s genitals.

How will I know I have it?

Tingling or itching around the vagina or penis which turns into painful blisters.

How can I get rid of it?

You will be given special cream and tablets from the gum clinic. This infection is caused by a virus, so it may come back again even after treatment.

What will happen if I don’t get it treated?

The pain and blisters could multiply and become worse. It is most important that you see a nurse or doctor.
