Abstract:
:It is becoming increasingly clear that the herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) 1 and 2 constitute a major, global, public health problem, particularly as genital herpes is implicated in the causation of a significant percentage of onwards transmission of the HIV virus. A major factor in the transmission of HSV is that most carriers are unaware of their diagnosis. In the last few years, the development of nucleic acid amplification technology and type-specific antibody serology to test for HSV-1 and -2 has contributed significantly to the accurate diagnosis of these infections. Despite guidance to the contrary, there is still much use of less sensitive tests such as viral culture and antibody testing based on crude antigen. It is essential that we use the most sensitive and specific diagnostic tests if we are to curb this epidemic.
