title: Herpes simplex virus genital infections: current concepts.
abstract: Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted disease that is frequently undiagnosed. Viral shedding occurs frequently and often without symptoms facilitating transmission to sex partners. Genital herpes may impact HIV transmission, and may be transmitted to neonates at the time of birth. Primary prevention of genital herpes is needed to lower the burden of disease.
