GENITAL HERPES – DEFINITION

Herpes is an increasingly common sexually transmitted infection caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two types, HSV-1 and HSV-2, which are clinically and epidemiologically similar. HSV-1 is often associated with lesions on the face and fingers and sometimes with genital lesions; it is usually acquired during childhood. HSV-2 is usually acquired after sexual activity commences and is almost entirely associated with genital herpes.
