Herpes simplex is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 typically causes oral herpes, which manifests as cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth, while HSV-2 usually causes genital herpes. However, both types can cause infections in either location. Here's an in-depth look at the causes and symptoms of herpes simplex:

### Causes:
1. **Viral Transmission**: Herpes simplex virus spreads through direct contact with the infected area during an outbreak. This can occur through kissing, oral sex, vaginal sex, anal sex, or skin-to-skin contact.

2. **Asymptomatic Shedding**: Even when no symptoms are present, individuals infected with herpes can still transmit the virus to others through asymptomatic shedding, where the virus is actively replicating on the skin's surface.

3. **Vertical Transmission**: Pregnant women with genital herpes can transmit the virus to their newborns during childbirth, leading to potentially severe complications for the baby.

4. **Weakened Immune System**: A weakened immune system due to factors like stress, illness, or immunosuppressive medications can increase the risk of herpes outbreaks and transmission.

### Symptoms:
#### Oral Herpes (HSV-1):
1. **Cold Sores**: Painful, fluid-filled blisters or sores appear on or around the lips, mouth, or gums.

2. **Tingling or Burning Sensation**: Often precedes the appearance of blisters by a few hours to a day.

3. **Fever and Muscle Aches**: Some individuals may experience flu-like symptoms during the initial outbreak.

4. **Ulcers**: After the blisters rupture, shallow ulcers form, which can be painful and may take several days to heal.

#### Genital Herpes (HSV-2):
1. **Genital Blisters**: Similar to oral herpes, painful blisters or sores develop on the genitals, anus, buttocks, or thighs.

2. **Painful Urination**: The presence of blisters near the urethra can cause discomfort or pain during urination.

3. **Itching and Irritation**: The affected area may feel itchy or irritated before the appearance of blisters.

4. **Flu-like Symptoms**: Fever, headache, and swollen lymph nodes may accompany the initial outbreak.

#### Both Types:
1. **Recurrence**: After the initial outbreak, the virus remains dormant in the nerve cells and can reactivate periodically, leading to recurrent outbreaks.

2. **Localized Symptoms**: Symptoms are typically confined to the area where the virus entered the body, but in some cases, lesions may spread to other areas through autoinoculation.
