Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to compare the performance of the NOWDx HSV-2 Test to a currently marketed device. The intent is to show the rapid test device is comparable to the currently marketed device. The NOWDx HSV-2 Test is intended for qualitatively detecting the presence or absence of human Immunoglobulin G (IgG) class antibodies to HSV-2 in human whole blood to aid in the diagnosis of infection caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of this study is to establish the performance characteristics of the NOWDx HSV-2 Test based on comparison to the HerpeSelect 1 and 2 Immunoblot IgG and HerpeSelect 2 ELISA IgG assays.

The external clinical study along with in-house analytical studies will demonstrate the efficacy of the NOWDx HSV-2 Test as an aid in the diagnosis of HSV-2 infection for at home testing and point of care testing sites. Participants will self test and be tested by Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) Waived operators with the NOWDx HSV-2 Test at independent sites in Florida, Kentucky, and Arizona.

Two sample types will be tested with the NOWDx HSV-2 Test for each participant: capillary whole blood and venous whole blood. Sera from each participant will be tested at an independent reference laboratory.

The NOWDx HSV-2 Test will be evaluated in diverse populations of sexually active persons who self-select for genital herpes testing, expectant mothers, and persons claiming to lack sexual experience.
