Abstract


This exercise highlights the role of the primary care physician in managing patients with herpes simplex type 2 and provides information on how to evaluate and treat the condition. This study will organize fundamental information about herpes genitalis and its clinical manifestations, as well as important facets of prophylactic, antiviral therapy (both present and future), and diagnostic procedures. This exercise focuses on the interprofessional team that treats patients with genital herpes and the risk of contracting the disease.
