AB •  Most  individuals  with  genital  herpes  are  unaware  of  the  infection  but  are  able  to  transmit  it  to  others.•  Type-specific  serology  allows  reliable  differentiation  of  chronic  type  1  from  type  2  infection.•  Clinical  diagnosis  should  be  confirmed  by  diagnostic  testing  of  the  genital  lesion  (culture  or  polymerase  chain  reaction  [PCR])  or  a  type-specific  serologic  assay.
