Lesions arising at an anatomical location where they have not previously occurred may be regarded as a new infection.\n\nNote 1: This infection is a lifelong, persistent infection of the peripheral nervous system ganglia. It is characterised by intermittent episodes of localised vesicular lesions on the skin or mucous membranes, but can also involve the central nervous system or other organs.\n\nNote 2: HSV-1 typically causes orofacial lesions and HSV-2 typically causes genital lesions, but either subtype may infect the oral mucosa or the genital tract and either may occur at other sites.\n\nNote 3: HSV complications include corneal scarring or significant skin scarring, eczema herpeticum, HSV dissemination or visceral involvement.\n\nNote 4: eczema herpeticum is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.\n\n(3) While herpes simplex attracts ICD‑10‑AM code B00 or A60, in applying this Statement of Principles the meaning of herpes simplex is that given in subsection (2).\n\n(4) For subsection (3), a reference to an ICD-10-AM code is a reference to the code assigned to a particular kind of injury or disease in The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Australian Modification (ICD-10-AM), Tenth Edition, effective date of 1 July 2017, copyrighted by the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority, ISBN 978-1-76007-296-4.\n\nDeath from herpes simplex\n\n(5) For the purposes of this Statement of Principles, herpes simplex, in relation to a person, includes death from a terminal event or condition that was contributed to by the person's herpes simplex.\n\nNote: terminal event is defined in the Schedule 1 – Dictionary.\n\n8 Basis for determining the factors\n\nOn the sound medical‑scientific evidence available, the Repatriation Medical Authority is of the view that it is more probable than not that herpes simplex and death from herpes simplex can be related to relevant service rendered by veterans or members of the Forces under the VEA, or members under the MRCA.\n\nNote: MRCA, relevant service and VEA are defined in the Schedule 1 – Dictionary.\n\n9 Factors that must exist\n\nAt least one of the following factors must exist before it can be said that, on the balance of probabilities, herpes simplex or death from herpes simplex is connected with the circumstances of a person's relevant service:\n\n(1) being exposed to HSV-1 or HSV-2 within the 30 days before the clinical onset of herpes simplex;\n\nNote: being exposed to HSV-1 or HSV-2 is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary. \n\n(2) having a severe thermal burn within the 30 days before the clinical onset of herpes simplex;\n\nNote: severe thermal burn is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.\n\n(3) having a thermal or chemical burn within the seven days before the clinical onset of herpes simplex at or close to the site of the burn;\n\nNote: close to the site is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.\n\n(4) being in an immunocompromised state as specified at the time of the clinical onset of herpes simplex;\n\nNote: immunocompromised state as specified is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.\n\n(5) having surgery to nerve root ganglia within the 30 days before the clinical onset of herpes simplex, where the cutaneous distribution of herpes simplex corresponds with the nerve roots which were manipulated during surgery;\n\n(6) being exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet light at a level sufficient to induce at least mild erythema, within the seven days before the clinical onset of herpes simplex;\n\n(7) being at least 20 weeks pregnant at the time of the clinical onset of herpes simplex;\n\n(8) for acute herpes simplex encephalitis or acute herpes simplex retinal necrosis only, having surgery to the brain within the 30 days before the clinical onset of herpes simplex;\n\n(9) for orofacial herpes simplex only:\n\n(a) having surgery to the face within the 30 days before the clinical onset of herpes simplex;\n\n(b) having an upper respiratory tract infection within the seven days before the clinical onset of herpes simplex; or\n\n(c) having a fever of at least 39 degrees Celsius in the 72 hours before the clinical onset of herpes simplex;\n\nNote: surgery to the face is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.\n\n(10) for herpes simplex of the cornea (herpes simplex keratitis) only:\n\n(a) having cataract surgery within the six weeks before the clinical onset of herpes simplex;\n\n(b) having a corneal transplant, where the donor cornea is infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2, within the 30 days before the clinical onset of herpes simplex;

It replaces the earlier (2010) Statement of Principles for herpes simplex. It takes effect for relevant claims from 28 May 2018. \n\n- The instrument sets the medical conditions and specific circumstances (the \"factors\") that, if present, mean it is \"more probable than not\" (the civil standard of proof) that a veteran's herpes simplex or death from herpes simplex is connected with their relevant service. It also gives definitions used throughout the instrument.\n\n- The Statement applies to claims governed by section 120B of the VEA or section 339 of the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act (MRCA). Decision-makers (for example staff in the Department of Veterans’ Affairs) use this Statement when deciding whether herpes simplex is service‑related for entitlement purposes.\n\nWho it affects\n\n- Primary affected parties: veterans and serving members (or their dependants for a death claim) making claims under the VEA or MRCA where herpes simplex or death from herpes simplex is alleged to be service‑related.\n- Secondary parties: treating clinicians (whose records or reports supply evidence), the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (which pays entitlements where liability is established), and the RMA (which issues and updates Statements of Principles).\n\nKey operative content (short form)\n\n- \"Herpes simplex\" is defined clinically as infection caused by HSV‑1 or HSV‑2 and includes lesions at new anatomical sites; certain complications (e.g. corneal scarring, eczema herpeticum) are noted. (See subsection 7(2) and Schedule 1 definitions.)\n\n- The Statement lists specific \"factors\" that must exist for a positive nexus on the balance of probabilities. At least one listed factor must be shown and it must be related to the person's relevant service. (Section 9 and Section 10.)\n\n- Time windows and site‑specific rules are explicit. Examples of factors and windows include: exposure to HSV‑1/HSV‑2 within 30 days before clinical onset; severe thermal burn within 30 days before onset; thermal or chemical burn at/near the lesion within 7 days; immunocompromised state at time of onset; surgery to nerve root ganglia within 30 days when the lesion matches the manipulated nerve roots; sunlight/UV exposure within 7 days; pregnancy at least 20 weeks at onset; for corneal herpes, cataract surgery within 6 weeks or contact‑lens wear within 24 hours, etc. Separate but parallel lists cover clinical \"worsening\" as distinct from initial onset. (Section 9.)\n\n- Some factors apply only to specific clinical forms (e.g. orofacial herpes, herpes keratitis, eczema herpeticum, herpes of the lip) and some factors reference other Statements of Principles for related injuries/diseases. (Sections 9 and 11.)\n\n- The Schedule (definitions) supplies specific meanings (for example: what counts as \"being exposed to HSV‑1 or HSV‑2\", what constitutes an \"immunocompromised state as specified\", the meaning of \"severe thermal burn\", and what \"close to the site\" means — defined as at or within one centimetre). \n\nWhy the RMA says it matters (stated purpose) and how that interacts with practical effects\n\n- The RMA states it is satisfied on the available medical‑scientific evidence that herpes simplex and death from it can be related to relevant service (see section 8). That is a factual claim used to justify publishing this Statement so it can be used in adjudicating entitlement claims.\n\n- Practical effects of that claim and the instrument's mechanics:\n - Who pays: if a claim is accepted using this Statement, payables and benefits flow under the VEA/MRCA from government programs administered by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. \n - Who decides: the RMA issues the Statement (defines the medical link). DVA decision‑makers use it as the evidentiary standard when assessing claims.\n - Behavioural and compliance effects: claimants and clinicians will commonly need to present clinical records or other evidence showing a listed factor (and timing) and that the factor is related to the person’s relevant service. Some listed factors (e.g. documented surgery, burns, pregnancy) are straightforward to evidence; others (e.g. sunlight exposure sufficient to cause mild erythema, playing a woodwind instrument, chapped lips, or inability to obtain appropriate clinical management) are harder to document and may require contemporaneous clinical notes or credible witness statements. \n\nTrade‑offs, costs and risks (mechanical and administrative)\n\n- Fiscal cost: broadening or clarifying nexus criteria tends to increase the probability that some claims will be accepted, which increases liability for government benefits. The Statement does not itself appropriate funds but changes the legal test used to decide entitlement.\n\n- Evidentiary and administrative burden: specificity of time windows and site‑matching reduces adjudicator discretion but increases the need for precise clinical evidence. This shifts administrative effort to assembling medical records and sometimes to obtaining specialist reports.\n\n- Implementation risk and bureaucratic discretion: the Statement reduces some uncertainty by enumerating factors, but residual discretion remains when deciding whether a listed factor \"is related to the relevant service\" or whether an asserted exposure actually occurred in service. Broadly worded items (for example, \"inability to obtain appropriate clinical management\") may generate contested cases and require policy or judicial interpretation.\n\n- Effects on private actors and markets: effects on private enterprise are indirect and modest. The instrument may increase demand for clinicians' reports, second opinions, and medico‑legal services. Private insurers are not directly affected by the Statement; public benefits remain the principal fiscal mechanism.\n\n- Substitution and strategic behaviour: claimants may seek to document or emphasize listed factors that fit the time windows and definitions set out. The RMA's cross‑reference to other Statements of Principles means claimants can rely on linked medical findings where appropriate.\n\nNet mechanical summary\n\n- If a veteran or member files a claim for herpes simplex (or death due to herpes simplex), the RMA's Statement tells decision‑makers which clinical facts — when shown and linked to relevant service — are sufficient to establish that the condition is \"connected with\" service on the balance of probabilities. The Statement standardises which medical circumstances produce a presumption (or pathway) to acceptance, narrows disputes on some points (through time windows and site‑matching), and preserves the need for evidence tying the listed factor to the person's relevant service (section 10)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/statement-of-principles-concerning-herpes-simplex-balance-of-probabilities-no-40-of-2018","history":"/api/acts/statement-of-principles-concerning-herpes-simplex-balance-of-probabilities-no-40-of-2018/history","analysis":"/api/acts/statement-of-principles-concerning-herpes-simplex-balance-of-probabilities-no-40-of-2018/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/statement-of-principles-concerning-herpes-simplex-balance-of-probabilities-no-40-of-2018/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/statement-of-principles-concerning-herpes-simplex-balance-of-probabilities-no-40-of-2018/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/statement-of-principles-concerning-herpes-simplex-balance-of-probabilities-no-40-of-2018/documents"}}
