The following are all STDs that can be treated and cured through antibiotics during pregnancy:

  • Chlamydia
  • Syphilis
  • Gonorrhea
  • Trichomoniasis
  • Bacterial vaginosis

There isn’t a cure for the viral STDs like HIV or genital herpes. The one thing that can be done though is the antiviral medications that would normally be taken can be appropriate for a pregnant woman that has herpes and is definitely appropriate for someone with HIV. A woman that tests negative for Hepatitis B might receive the vaccination or it during their pregnancy. HIV and Active Genital Herpes For a woman that has an active genital herpes lesion at the time of delivery most likely a C-Section is going to be done in order to prevent the newborn from being infected with the herpes simplex virus. The C-Section is also an option for an infected woman with HIV. Protecting Yourself from Infection The best way to make sure that you avoid the transmission of an STD is to make sure that you either abstain from sex, or to be in a long-term and reciprocally monogamous bond with a partner that’s also had complete STD testing and is known from the testing to be an uninfected person. Using a latex condom each and every time correctly is going to be a very effective way to prevent the transmission of HIV, the virus that leads to AIDs. They can also, assuming they’re being used correctly and consistently, can reduce the transmission of:

  • Gonorrhea
  • Chlamydia
  • Trichomoniasis
  • Syphilis
  • Chancroid
  • Herpes

In regards to herpes and chancroid that only works when the site of infection of the potential of exposure is protected by the condom. Any unprotected skin to skin contact will not protect. Whenever you have sex outside of a completely monogamous relationship always wear a condom.

Inform yourself prior to sexual activities. Talk to your Doctor or a trained Certified Nursing Assistant about sex safety.

Women that become pregnant are not immune to getting an STD. They are just as susceptible as those that aren’t pregnant no matter some of the myths that are out there. Pregnancy isn’t something that provides women or their babies with any “special” protection against an STD.

The consequences that come from an STD are amplified, even to the point of being potentially life threatening for both a woman and her baby if the woman is infected with an STD while she is pregnant. It’s crucial that women are aware of the harmful problems that come from STDs and they adequately protect themselves and their unborn child against any infection.

United States and STDs in Pregnant Women

There are some STDs like those of bacterial vaginosis or genital herpes that are actually quite common in women that are pregnant within the United States. Other diseases like syphilis and HIV are much less common in the pregnant women.

The below STD and the number shows the number of pregnant women in the United States that are infected with that specific STD each year:

  • 1,080,000 – Bacterial Vaginosis
  • 880,000 Herpes Simplex Virus 2
  • 100,000 – Chlamydia
  • 124,000 – Trichomoniasis
  • 13,200 – Gonorrhea
  • 16,000 – Hepatitis B
  • 6,400 – HIV
  • < 1,000 – Syphilis

The Affects of STDs on an Unborn Child

STDs are something that has a lot of the same consequences for the pregnant women as the women that aren’t pregnant. STDs are something that can lead to cervical cancers as well as other cancers, chronic hepatitis, infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease as well as other unintended and potentially life threatening complications. The unfortunate thing is that many of the STDs in women are silent, meaning they have no signs or symptoms. That is part of what makes them so dangerous.

An STD can pass from the pregnant woman to her baby either before, during or even after the baby is born. STDs, like syphilis, can actually cross through the placenta and infect the baby while it’s in the womb. Other STDs like gonorrhea, hepatitis B, genital herpes and others can be transmitted from the mother during the delivery process as the baby is passing through the birth canal. This is why it is likely for a C-Section to be performed. Another STD that can cross the placenta during pregnancy is HIV. Also with HIV it can also infect a baby during breastfeeding so you don’t want to breastfeed your child especially with HIV. For all other STDs make sure that you consult with your doctor.

Another problem with a pregnant woman with an STD is a problem with the early onset of labor, premature ruptures of the surrounding membranes of the baby in the uterus, also the higher possibility of uterine infection after delivery.

The harmful effects of the STDs in babies can lead to many complications, anything from:

  • Stillbirth
  • Low birth weight
  • Conjunctivitis
  • Pneumonia
  • Neonatal sepsis
  • Neurologic damage
  • Blindness
  • Deafness
  • Acute hepatitis
  • Meningitis
  • Chronic liver disease
  • Cirrhosis
  • More

Almost all of these problems are ones that can be prevented through the routine prenatal care. This is something that will include the STD screening early in the pregnancy and will be repeated again close to the delivery if needed.

STD Testing For Pregnant Women

Guidelines from the CDC recommend that pregnant women be screened the first prenatal visit. Pregnant women need to ask their doctor about being tested for an STD as some doctors don’t do this as a routine testing procedure. Even if tested in the past, get tested again when you become pregnant.

Herpes is spreads through direct skin on skin contact. Unlike the flu virus that is spreadable through the air the herpes virus is spread only through direct contact from the site of the herpes infection to the site of the other person’s skin contact with the infection point.

For an example, if you have a cold sore and you kiss someone you’re possibly transferring the virus to their mouth. The same goes for genital herpes and you have either anal or vaginal intercourse. The other spread way is, say you have a cold sore and you give oral sex to your partner you can then spread the herpes virus to their genitals. ANY infected skin to unaffected skin contact can spread the virus.

When Is Herpes Most Likely To Be Spread?

The herpes virus is spread the most easily while sores are present but the virus can be spread at other points too. There are some people that are going to notice things like:

  • Itching
  • Tingling
  • Other sensations

They’ll feel these things before they ever get anything on their skin, called a prodromal symptom(s). What they do is warn that there could be the virus on the skin. Herpes can be spread through the time that the symptoms appear for the first time through the outbreak and until the area is completely healed and the skin is back to looking normal. Having any sexual contact at all during this time, oral, anal or vaginal is extremely risky during this time.

Can Herpes Be Transmitted Without Symptoms?

The simple answer is yes.

The people that don’t know they are infected are the ones that spread their virus between an outbreak and there are no signs or symptoms present. These are called asymptomatic transmissions. Most often they are spread through people that have no idea they’re even infected at all. The people could have symptoms but ones that are so mild that they have no notice to them at all or simply don’t recognize it as being herpes.
Almost all new infections of genital herpes are from those that are asymptomatic shedders of the herpes virus.

Are complications possible?

One of the kinds of complications comes from the virus spreading from the outbreak location to another place on the body through touching the sore. Things like your fingers, eyes and other body areas can become infected accidentally through this way. Infection prevention is easy though. Simply don’t touch the area through this outbreak period. If you touch an area that’s infected immediately wash your hands as the virus can be killed easily through using just soap and water.

Can herpes cause AIDS?

The herpes simplex virus, HSV1 or HSV2 isn’t related to the HIV virus in any way. Someone that carries the herpes virus though is more susceptible to infection with HIV though if they have sex with someone with the virus. Only in that way is someone with herpes likely to get HIV which is the cause of aids.

Does Herpes Recur?

Both types of herpes can occur, oral and genital. There are some people that will have some frequent recurrences while there are other people that will rarely ever have reappearance. There is an average of around four reappearances for someone with genital herpes per year. Almost everyone that has genital herpes will have a recurrence.
In the beginning of the infection what will happen is the herpes simplex virus is going to escape the body’s immune system. What it does is enters the nerve endings and from there it will go to the ganglia. The ganglia are nerve cell clusters. Not always, but here and there, the virus can be reactivated. Whenever there is that reactivation it will travel back down through the nerve and to the skins surface. From there it is going to begin to multiply and then it will cause the new outbreak. The reappearances are going to most always develop at or somewhere near the site of the initial infection point.

Symptoms of a Typical Recurrence

During your first outbreak the immune system is going to develop both antibodies and other weapons against the herpes virus. The immune system has a memory and when the reappearance happens the immune system is going to be able to fight off your infection more easily. What this means for you are fewer sores, the sores you have will heal faster and the outbreak is going to be far less painful for you. The flu like symptoms that you get with the initial infection will seldom ever be present.

What Triggers A Recurrence?

There is no one pattern for a herpes infection in people. All of them are going to have different patterns. Any of the following combinations or one of the factors following not always but sometimes could induce a new occurrence:

  • Surgery
  • Illness
  • Stress
  • Fatigue
  • Skin irritation
  • Diet
  • Menstruation
  • Vigorous sexual intercourse

A reappearance of your herpes infection could occur when the dormant virus is triggered through an immunosuppressive event like those that we mentioned above but also some things like:

  • Colds or fevers
  • Specific food types
  • Beverages
  • Vitamins
  • Medications

Since the reappearance pattern of the herpes virus is going to be just as varied as the people that carry the virus are you should make sure that you take every possible precaution that you can to keep your virus in check and in remission.

Babies can be infected with the herpes virus. If you’ve been exposed you need to speak with your doctor before you decide to have children. This is very important even if you or haven’t ever had a symptom or had a recurrence in a long period of time. The doctor could arrange a test and see if the virus is present when you’re going into labor. You’ll be checked for herpes at labor and you should be sure to let the doctor know if you have active symptoms at that time.

If no virus is found to be in the birth canal, no signs or symptoms, then vaginal delivery could be considered to be safe. If there is the virus or signs or symptoms present then a C-Section could be scheduled so your baby isn’t infected through direct contact.

A baby could be infected through someone that is kissed by a person with a cold sore. A baby can’t fight infection like an adult can so a serious infection could easily result. Don’t ever kiss a baby when you have a cold sore and make sure that nobody with a cold sore kisses your baby.

Aviralex is something that is a sulphate based herpes medication that has trace metal of copper in it as an aqueous herbal foundation. Also contained in it is the herb lemon balm as well as the ammoniated acid that is found in de-ionized water.

One very important thing to note is that the molecule Aviralex has both the acid group as well as the sulphur molecule that is attached. That formulation progression is an indispensable factor in the composition of the Aviralex product. The combination effect is something that causes the Aviralex product to be able to infiltrate the membrane of the herpes simplex virus thus the annihilation of the virus upon contact.

The Aviralex Study

Recently Aviralex completed an all-inclusive study of a three year period in laboratory conditions. The study is one that included what’s referred to as a double blind trial. The double blind trial compared Aviralex and placebos. The comparison was to look at the time that it took for each of the patients to scab over and heal. For example, a subject’s lesions dried out in a 6 hour period of time and through using Aviralex the new skin appeared in just 72 hours of time.

The ingredient combination that makes the Aviralex has been proven to be highly successful.

Ingredients

Sulphur

One of the main Aviralex ingredients is sulphur. Sulphur is an age old remedy that’s been used to fight infections. Due to the inherent success it’s the basis of many modern antibiotics. The sulphate molecule is something that is a very essential component to the Aviralex solution.

Lemon Balm Leaves

The lemon balm leaf, stem and flower have been used medically dating all the way back to the time of the Romans. Lemon balm is something that is used very widely as completely natural therapy in order to suppress both HSV1 and HSV2.

The soothing and healing properties that are in lemon balm are something that has been proven by standing the test of time throughout the centuries. Lemon balm helps to reduce the inflammation and the pain that is associated with the herpes simplex virus dramatically.

Saint John’s Wart

Saint John’s Wart is something that has been shown to hold remarkable antiviral activity. Experiments done both in test tubes as well as animals have shown that the plans two most active chemicals are clearly effective against many retroviruses including that of HSV1 and HSV2.

Using the Product

You can get anywhere from 40-60 applications form just one bottle. It’s possible that just one bottle is all that you’ll need to prevent future outbreaks from occurring. Aviralex is:

  • Fast
  • Safe
  • Effective

The application process is a very imperative part of the Aviralex healing process. You must read all of the directions before you use it.

  • Apply Aviralex when your sore(s) are open and your lesion(s) are active. Don’t apply when you’ve got the stinging or tingling feelings that happen before the outbreaks. Also don’t apply when you have blisters. You have to wait for the blisters to break open before you apply Aviralex as it has to be able to penetrate into the skin to be effective.
  • Apply the Aviralex product to skin that is cle4an and dry. If you have any other products on your lesion you must remove them first.
  • To apply Aviralex you must use a clean cotton swab to the affected area. Allow it to air dry. Make sure that you only apply the product one time per outbreak.
  • Allow the scabs that are formed by Aviralex to heal completely on their own. Resist the urge to scratch and let the scabs fall off naturally.
  • If you feel any stinging you shouldn’t be alarmed. What’s happening is the product is simply penetrating the skin and taking effect. If it does get too severe you need to simply wash the area off with soap and water.
