Vaccine for genital herpes being tested at IUSM

By Mary Hardin
Infectious disease researchers at the IU School of Medicine are conducting a clinical trial to determine the effectiveness of a vaccine to prevent genital herpes. Woman between the ages of 18 and 30 years who have not been infected with herpes simplex 1, which causes cold sores, or herpes simplex 2, also known as genital herpes, are eligible. Participants cannot be pregnant or breast feeding and be in generally good health.

Participants will be enrolled in the clinical trial for 20 months and must make eight to 10 visits to the IU Medical Center. Those enrolled in the study will be compensated for their time. For additional information or to enroll in the study, contact Sue Ford at 317-278-2945 or 1-888-557-5657.
