Genital Herpes Chance

HSV2 is the virus responsible for genital herpes. We have used publicly available data published by the CDC to train a machine-learning model to predict an individual’s chance to have HSV2.

The questions asked below represent a subset of many variables available in the CDC dataset. These were statistically correlated to individual HSV2 positivity and contribute the the predictive ability of the model. However, this does not mean every variable has a causal influence on herpes transmission. Herpes is caused by contact with the virus. At most a variable, such as age, indicates more potential exposures. A variable such as income is purely correlative but still adds to the model’s robustness.

The resulting percentage is an estimation and NOT a diagnostic output. The result does not confirm or deny whether you have herpes. Consult a medical doctor if you have any questions about herpes.
