Herpes simplex is a common virus that belongs to the same family as the chicken pox virus. There are currently eight known herpes viruses. According to orthodox medicine, all herpes viruses can exist in the body without any outward sign or symptom until a period of depressed immunity suddenly results in an outbreak.
Oral herpes (cold sores or fever blisters) called HSV-I usually appears above the waist, in contrast to genital herpes (HSV-II).
