About
The objective of the study is to evaluate the acceptance and effect of type- specific HSV serologic testing of pregnant women on sexual behavior at the end of pregnancy.
Full description
The study hypothesis is that women with antepartum testing who are identified as susceptible to HSV-1 or HSV-2 will have reduced unprotected coital activity and reduced unprotected oral-genital activity compared to those who did not receive antepartum testing. The objective of the study is to evaluate the acceptance, and effect of type-specific HSV serologic testing of pregnant women on sexual behavior at the end of pregnancy.
Upon enrollment, study participants will be randomized into either of two type-specific HSV serologic testing and counseling regimens:
Women in group 2 will receive information about herpes infection and how to decrease their chance of acquiring infection during pregnancy. Subjects will be asked to keep a diary of sexual activity and return to the clinic every 4 weeks until delivery.
