Herpes genitalis is a chronic infection caused by type 2 herpes simplex virus (HSV2), usually transmitted by sexual contact.

When acquired during pregnancy, HSV2 may be transmitted through the placenta to the fetus and to the newborn by direct contact with infected tissue during birth. It can be a precursor of cervical cancer.
