Herpes gladiatorum does not refer to a different type of herpes, but is used to indicate herpes type 1 or type 2 spread by skin-to-skin contact during sports. Although "gladiatorum" indicates wrestlers, other sports such as Rugby and Basketball also have enough skin-to-skin contact to transmit herpes.
