Detailed herein are methods of detecting herpes simplex virus and differentiating between types 1 and 2 by simultaneous detection of type-specific gene sequences. In particular aspects, individuals infected with HSV-1 can be distinguished from those infected with HSV-2 by amplification and detection of the HSV-1 glycoprotein B gene or the HSV-2 UL-8 gene. Primers and probes for the differential detection of HSV-1 and HSV-2 are provided.
