Article: Herpes simplex virus is very common and highly contagious. HSV -1 commonly affects the face, and often causes cold sores (painful blisters on the lips). HSV-2 tends to cause painful genital blisters.  HSV-1 can spread through kissing or oral sex, while HSV-2 can spread through skin to skin contact with infected genitals. Be aware that HSV can have a long-dormant period. You may have contracted herpes long ago, but the virus may have stayed dormant in the nerve cells where it resides. Stress and lack of immunity (getting sick) are common triggers for activation of the virus from the dormant phase. Even if you can't remember ever being in contact with someone with HSV-1, consider if you've ever had a cold sore or fever blister. In the "prodrome" or early phase of any disease, symptoms indicate the onset of a condition. For whitlow, these symptoms usually appear 2 to 20 days after initial exposure, and include:  Fever Fatigue Unusual pain Numbness Tingling in the area Once the initial prodrome phase has passed, you will see far more specific symptoms that point clearly to whitlow:  Swelling, redness, and rash, with fluid filled vesicles around the area.  The vesicles may rupture, and a white, clear, or bloody fluid will come out. These vesicles may merge and take on a black/brown color. Ulceration, or a break in the skin, may develop later. Symptoms can resolve from anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks. Since whitlow is a more of a clinical diagnosis, the medical staff might not order any additional tests. Instead, the doctor will take your symptoms and medical history — including an HSV diagnosis — into consideration to diagnose whitlow. The doctor may also take a tube of your blood to order a complete blood count (CBC) with a differential (a count of your white blood cells). This will let them see if you have enough immune cells to fight infections, or if you have an underlying immune dysfunction that causes reoccurring infections. The doctor may want to test for herpes if you haven't been diagnosed with it. They may analyze your blood for herpes antibodies, order a PCR test (for the detection of herpes DNA), and/or order a viral culture (to see if actual herpes virus is growing from your blood).
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Recall if you've had contact with someone who has herpes. Look for early symptoms. Observe more typical whitlow symptoms in the disease phase. Get a formal medical diagnosis.

Not all black clothes are created equally — different black fabrics will have different textures that can affect the way they look and feel on you. Knowing these variations will allow you to experiment and create the ideal black outfit. See below for just a few fabrics commonly worn in black:   Cotton: Breathable and comfortable. Flat appearance. A good general fabric choice when it comes to black clothing. Unlike other shades, black cotton doesn't darken when wet.  Polyester: Less breathable, but resistant to wrinkling. Soft and smooth. Good for black casual wear.   Silk: Smooth, shiny, sleek. In black, it looks luxurious, even decadent. Generally best for men to limit themselves to one silk item per outfit — women can sometimes get away with more.  Leather: Strong and tough. Can be flat or shiny depending on the finish. In black, it can give a tough "biker" look or a sleek, "clean" one, depending on the fit and the smoothness of the leather. Understanding the idea of contrast is important when putting together a black outfit. When you're wearing mostly black, anything that isn't black will stick out visually and will naturally attract the eye. For this reason, it's a good idea to wear colored clothing and accessories near features that you want to show off — other people's eyes will spend a lot of time looking here. Keep in mind also that, depending on your skin tone, exposed skin may also create this contrast. Use this to your advantage by making areas of contrast next to skin you want people to look at. For example, if you want people to look at your beautiful face, a black turtleneck that ends sharply below your jawline is a great idea. A completely uniform black outfit can be quite striking, but it's not your only option. Try using fabrics with patterns that incorporate black to add contrast and variation to your look. The black used in the pattern will automatically go with whatever other black clothes you're wearing, allowing you to maintain the black "theme" of your outfit without committing to a single color. There are many different patterns that will work here. Polka dots, floral designs, plaid, pinstripes and more are all available in styles that incorporate the color black, giving you many different fashion choices. Another way to add visual contrast to a black outfit is to play with its texture. This is a little more difficult than simply wearing different types of clothes, but it gives you a great opportunity to express your creativity. There are two ways to do this:   Use materials with different visual qualities. For example, wearing a suit made entirely out of shiny black silk can be a little overwhelming, but wearing a black silk shirt inside a flat black cotton blazer will create an interesting contrast and call attention to the center of your torso.  Use folds, seams, creases, ruffles, etc. For example, a sheer black can look amazing on its own, but if you want to spice it up, adding horizontal folds to the back can give a completely new  look.
