简要总结

The purposes of this study are:

  • To determine the accuracy of commercially available serologic assays in diagnosing patients with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2);
  • To assess the sensitivity and specificity of the commerical assays using HSV-2 western blot as the "gold standard" in a diverse patient population;
  • To develop testing strategies and recommendations for screening asymptomatic populations for HSV-2.

详细描述

The purposes of this study are:

  • To determine the accuracy of commercially available serologic assays in diagnosing patients with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2);
  • To assess the sensitivity and specificity of the commerical assays using HSV-2 western blot as the "gold standard" in a diverse patient population;
  • To develop testing strategies and recommendations for screening asymptomatic populations for HSV-2.

We will evaluate the assays in diverse populations:

  1. STD clinic population
  2. Men who have sex with men, with high prevalence of HIV infection
  3. Pregnant women

The study will inform the development of testing strategies:

结局指标

主要结局

Sensitivity and Specificity using Western Blot as the Gold Standard test

时间窗: Up to 4 months after initial testing

次要结局

  • In population with relative low prevalence of HSV-2 infection (e.g. persons <=25 years), whether a combination of tests (i.e. testing algorithm(s)) can increase the positive predictive value to the level of >= 95%(Up to 4 months after initial testing)
