Genital Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is a major global public health issue where the number of patientsincreases every year. It has a variety of clinical presentations, and a tendency to recur when the immunesystem is compromised. Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have a higher chance ofbeing infected with HSV possibly due to their high risk attributes.
