Abstract
In summary, clinical management of HSV infection depends on an individual having an appropriate diagnosis and receiving proper counseling, follow-up of both themselves and their sexual partners, as well as having an opportunity to discuss with more knowledgeable physicians, the options for antiviral management should their individual problems and sequelae of genital HSV infection require it. Although some of the aspects of management such as HSV type 2 serology testing or continuous antiviral therapy will be limited in their availability to individuals worldwide because of cost, it is possible to improve knowledge among physicians about diagnosis. Furthermore, it is necessary to ensure that facilities for patient information and counselling are available. These latter facilities are often provided extremely efficiently by self-help or voluntary groups so it is vital that physicians understand and ensure that they obtain details of such groups to pass on to their patients.
