The infection persists throughout a person’s lifetime and is characterized by periodic re-activation at the initial site of infection [1]. HSV is classified into two distinct types, Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 is mainly spread through oral-to-oral contact and commonly leads to orolabial herpes, also known as cold sores. In addition, HSV-1 can cause less common conditions such as keratitis, ocular complications, and encephalitis. While HSV-1 genital infection resulting from oral-to-genital contact is increasingly observed, re-activation is less frequent compared to HSV-2. HSV-2 is primarily transmitted through sexual contact and causes genital herpes [2]. HSV has the capacity to invade the central nervous system (CNS) during primary infection or through latent state reactivation. Following the primary infect
