OBJECTIVES AND PARTICIPANTS: in the United States, genital herpes (GH) prevalence is 10.6% among 20- to 29-year-olds and about 90% of seropositive persons do not know their status. This study investigated individual characteristics associated with GH screening and diagnosis in sexually active young adults aged 18 to 24.
two data sets were analyzed: the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) Wave III from 2001 to 2002 (n = 11,570) and the American College Health Association's (ACHA's) national survey of college students from 2000 to 2006 (n = 222,470).
in Add Health, 18.4% of females and 7.1% of males self-reported GH testing in the previous 12 months, compared to 0.7% for self-reported GH diagnosis in ACHA. GH testing and diagnosis was strongly positively associated with a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing and diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the previous 12 months for both sexes.
integrating herpes screening and testing into HIV and standard STI screening would identify more infections.
目的和参与者：在美国，20 至 29 岁人群中生殖器疱疹（GH）的患病率为 10.6%，约 90%的血清阳性者不知道自己的状况。本研究调查了与 18 至 24 岁性活跃的年轻人 GH 筛查和诊断相关的个体特征。
分析了两个数据集：2001 年至 2002 年的全国青少年健康纵向研究（Add Health）第三波（n=11570）和 2000 年至 2006 年美国大学生健康协会（ACHA）的全国大学生调查（n=222470）。
在 Add Health 中，18.4%的女性和 7.1%的男性报告在过去 12 个月内进行了 GH 检测，而 ACHA 报告的 GH 诊断率为 0.7%。对于男性和女性，在过去 12 个月内进行过 HIV 检测和性传播感染（STI）诊断的人，GH 检测和诊断与 HIV 检测和诊断呈强烈正相关。
将疱疹筛查和检测纳入 HIV 和标准 STI 筛查将可以发现更多的感染。
