The present invention relates to a method of detecting the presence or absence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in a sample based on amplifying a portion of the Glycoprotein G (US4) gene of HSV and detecting the presence of the amplified nucleic acid using primers and detector primers as described herewith. The method of the invention further identifies the type of HSV, either HSV-1 or HSV-2, in a sample. Also encompassed by the invention is a kit comprising the primers and detector primers which may be used with the amplification method described herewith.
