Shedding rate is the most relevant measure of HSV-2 severity. (A) Typical model simulation demonstrating 365 days of shedding. (B) Results from 200, 10-year model simulations, each with randomly selected parameter values. Shedding rate correlates tightly with a cumulative episode area under the curve indicating that shedding rate also highly predicts quantitative levels of viral shedding.
