Herpes genitalia is mainly caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 and can appear as a primary or recurring infection. It is among the most prevalent sexually transmitted illnesses. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the diagnosis, management, treatment, and prophylaxis of herpes genitalis, caused by herpes simplex virus type 2. It addresses critical areas of concern and aims to improve the often inadequate counseling and utilization of lab diagnoses, as well as provide updated information on treatment and management of the infection. This is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and individuals seeking information on the pathogen and clinical manifestations of herpes genitalis.
