  • Title: CDC studies link between herpes and HIV prevention. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
    Journal: AIDS Alert; 1998 Jul; 13(7):81-2. PubMed ID: 11365590.
    Abstract:
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened a group of consultants to study the link between genital herpes (HSV-2) and HIV. There are high numbers of herpes cases reported in the United States, and accurate, type-specific assays are now available to determine whether asymptomatic people are virus carriers. The prevalence of HSV-2 in the HIV epidemic is thought to be greatest among heterosexuals, with infected persons being twice as likely to acquire HIV. The CDC is urged to continue its efforts to address the issues related to herpes prevention and treatment and set a research agenda that will answer many of the questions raised.
