hospital wristband hsv : eop?

I can't seem to find a clear answer online regarding the meaning of "HSV" on a hospital wristband. I'm fairly certain it doesn't refer to the herpes simplex virus, right? I would assume that hospitals wouldn't label patients with that on their wristbands. Can anyone clarify what "HSV" might indicate in this context?

Yes, you need to ask, could be a shorthand for who your insurance group is with, or HMO or just about anything

You probably won’t find that online, you can try calling the hospital and asking them.

No info like that doesn’t go on a hospital wrist band. Usually your name and a number they can identify you with, and thing you’re allergic to goes on it, in case you can’t tell them that.

They don’t even have to know if you have HSV.

I’ve been to the hospital a few times.
