 AB    Genital herpes infections are a major source of morbidity. These
       infections are responsible for significant health problems, including
       direct physical discomfort associated with outbreaks, potential
       complications such as neonatal transmission, and the often devastating
       psychological effects of a chronic illness. In addition, herpes
       infections have been identified as a significant co-factor in the
       transmission of human immunodeficiency virus infection. Accurate and
       rapid diagnosis and treatment are important steps necessary to minimize
       these effects.
