No animal reservoirs or vectors are involved with the human viruses. Transmission is by contact with infected secretions. The epidemiology of HSV-1 and HSV-2 differs. HSV-1 is more constantly present in humans than any other virus. HSV-2 is usually acquired as a_STO Several antiviral drugs have proved effective against HSV infections, including qujchovir_, dlaaysouc, and vidarabine. Newborns and persons with extsma should be protected from exposure to persons with active lesions, Patients with genital herpes should be counseled that asymptomatic shedding is frequent and that the risk of transmission can be reduced by antiviral therapy and con Aw usage.
