HSV, herpes simplex virus; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus. Recurrent infections are characterized by type-specific HSV detection in the presence of the same antibody type.
A positive herpes simplex culture or HSV DNA (PCR) test from a vesicle scraping indicates an active HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. A negative culture or PCR test result indicates that the herpes simplex virus was not detected but does not definitely rule out the presence of virus. The sample may contain too few copies of the virus to be detected or does not contain actively replicating virus.
