Detailed Description

The ARIES HSV 1&2 Assay is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection and typing of herpes simplex virus (HSV 1 & 2) DNA in male external and internal anogenital, female external and internal anogenital (vaginal), oral and skin lesion specimens.

The objective is to establish the diagnostic accuracy of ARIES HSV-1&2 Assay through a multi-site, method comparison on prospectively collected, left-over de-identified, clinical specimens (i.e. all-comers accrued at enrolled clinical sites between pre-determined dates) as an aid in the diagnosis of herpes infection.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Blinded, Prospective Arm
The diagnostic accuracy for lesions from individuals suspected of having a herpes infection will be evaluated in prospectively collected, left-over de-identified, clinical specimens accrued between pre-defined dates.
Blinded, Pre-selected Arm
For specimen types that are less common, banked, pre-selected, positive clinical specimens will be tested.
