Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HSV-2 (herpes simplex virus type 2) is transmitted through sexual contact and can cause recurring, painful, vesicular eruptions. NGU (non-gonococcal urethritis) and VDRL (venereal disease research laboratory) are not forms of the herpesvirus, while HPV (human papillomavirus) can also be transmitted via sexual contact but typically presents as genital warts or abnormal pap smears rather than painful vesicular eruptions.
