Since HSV-2 antibody tests have become commercially available, an increasing number of persons learn that they have genital herpes through serologic testing. The course of natural history of HSV-2 in asymptomatic, seropositive persons is uncertain. To evaluate the virologic and clinical course of HSV genital shedding among participants with symptomatic and asymptomatic HSV-2 infection. Cohort of 498 immunocompetent HSV-2 seropositive persons enrolled in prospective studies of genital HSV shedding at the University of Washington Virology Research Clinic, Seattle, Washington, and Westover Heights Clinic in Portland, Oregon, between 1992 and 2008. Each participant obtained daily self-collected swabs of genital secretions for ≥ 30 days. The rate of viral shedding measured by quantitative real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for HSV DNA from genital swabs. HSV was detected on 4,753 of 23,683 days (20.1%; 95% CI, 18.3 to 22.0) in persons with symptomatic genital HSV-2 infection compared with 519 of 5,070 days (10.2%; 95% CI, 7.7 to 13.6) in persons with asymptomatic infection, p<0.001. Subclinical shedding rates were higher in persons with symptomatic infection compared with asymptomatic infection (2,708 of 20,735 days (13.1%; 95% CI, 11.5 to14.6) vs. 434 of 4,929 days (8.8%; 95% CI, 6.3 to 11.5), p<0.001. However, the amount of HSV detected during subclinical shedding episodes was similar (median 4.3 [IQR 3.1-5.6] log10 copies in the symptomatic infection group vs. 4.2 [IQR, 2.9-5.5], p=0.27 in the asymptomatic infection group). Days with lesions accounted for 2,045 of 4,753 days (43.0%; 95% CI, 39.8 to 46.5) with genital viral shedding among persons with symptomatic genital HSV-2 infection compared with 85 of 519 days (16.4%; 95% CI, 11.2 to 23.9) among persons with asymptomatic infection, p<0.001. Persons with asymptomatic HSV-2 infection shed virus in the genital tract less frequently than persons with symptomatic infection, but much of the difference is attributable to less frequent genital lesions, as lesions are accompanied by frequent viral shedding.
