Figure 1. Genital and Oral Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) Shedding Rates.

Figure 1.

All participants are included; those who completed only the first session are indicated by a dot for the second session. Twenty-eight participants did not have any genital shedding detected and 49 participants did not have any oral shedding detected. Shedding rates are calculated by dividing the number of days with HSV detected by the total number of days with swabs collected. Study participants are plotted in reverse rank order from least to greatest shedding rate. The order of study participants is not equivalent in panels A and B, and the participant numbers do not relate directly to viral genome isolate numbers in eFigure 3 in the Supplement.
