Pregnant women can transmit Chlamydia to their infants at birth, resulting in neonatal conjunctivitis and chlamydial pneumonia. Genital Herpes Genital Herpes is one of two serotypes of the herpes simplex virus. The virus remains in the body for life causing periodic symptoms in some people. An infected person with no noticeable symptoms can transmit herpes.
Symptoms vary wisely.
Symptoms usually appear 2 - 21 days after the initial exposure. Small fluid-filled sores appear where the virus entered the body and may itch, burn, or be painful. These initial sores heal in 1 to 2 weeks. Symptoms can recur at the initial infection site. The cause of reactivation is not known.
