The objective of this study was to determine herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) seroprevalence at HIV-1 diagnosis and seroincidence > or =1 year after HIV-1 diagnosis.
HSV type-specific antibodies were detected by enzyme immunoassay.
The cohort comprised 850 adults diagnosed HIV-positive in 1986-2001 and followed for a median of 3 years. HSV-2 seroprevalence was 63% (95% confidence interval [CI], 60-66%) and was associated with female gender, heterosexual risk group, black ethnicity, and older age. HSV-2 seroincidence was 1.8 per 100 person-years (95% CI, 0.8-2.8) and was associated with other sexually transmitted diseases, including human papilloma virus infection (P = 0.005) and gonorrhea (P = 0.05). A diagnosis of genital herpes was made in 21% HSV-2-seropositive persons and was more likely in those who tested HIV-positive before 1997 (adjusted odds ratio, 5.11; 95% CI, 3.28-7.98; P = 0.0001).
Results confirm the epidemiologic association between HIV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-2 seroconversion was a marker of high-risk sexual behavior. The likelihood of developing symptoms of genital herpes declined from 1997 onward.
本研究的目的是确定在人类免疫缺陷病毒1型(HIV-1)诊断时2型单纯疱疹病毒(HSV-2)的血清流行率以及在HIV-1诊断后≥1年的血清发病率。
采用酶免疫法检测HSV型特异性抗体。
该队列包括1986年至2001年诊断为HIV阳性的850名成年人,中位随访时间为3年。HSV-2血清流行率为63%(95%置信区间[CI],60-66%),与女性性别、异性恋风险组、黑人种族和年龄较大有关。HSV-2血清发病率为每100人年1.8例(95%CI,0.8-2.8),与其他性传播疾病有关,包括人乳头瘤病毒感染(P = 0.005)和淋病(P = 0.05)。21%的HSV-2血清阳性者被诊断为生殖器疱疹,1997年之前检测HIV阳性的人更易患生殖器疱疹(校正优势比,5.11;95%CI,3.28-7.98;P = 0.0001)。
结果证实了HIV-1与HSV-2之间的流行病学关联。HSV-2血清转换是高危性行为的一个标志。1997年以后出现生殖器疱疹症状的可能性下降。
