Genital herpes
Genital herpes is a common sexually infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It usually appears within two weeks of exposure to the virus and is characterized by painful blisters or sores in the genital area. Symptoms include itching, burning, pain when urinating and fever.
