title: Sites of multiple lesions in recurrent genital herpes.
abstract: The location of herpes lesions affects the potential for infection of sexual partners and newborn infants. During a six-month study of more than 100 patients, 60 percent of the women and 55 percent of the men had as many as six different lesion sites, both genital and extragenital. Multiple outbreaks of lesions may occur simultaneously, or lesions may form at different times during the same recurrence. These are often inconspicuous and usually go undetected.
