Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to assess performance of using healthcare tools to understand genital Herpes Simplex Virus-2 (HSV-2) in patients ≥ 18 years of age in the United States and Europe.

More specifically, the study aims to evaluate patient-reported outcome and quality-of-life endpoints as well as the performance study procedures in a decentralised setting. Ultimately, this study will allow generating additional real-world evidence (RWE) on patterns of recurrences and other key parameters.
