The stability of herpes simplex virus on vaginal tampons
Abstract
Herpes simplex virus can be quantitatively recovered from vaginal tampons suspended in tissue culture medium and stored over a wide range of temperatures. Because herpes simplex virus is stable for several days with refrigeration or after freezing, this method of culture of cervicovaginal virus lends itself to epidemiologic studies.
