Evaluation of sensitivity and specificity of the Aptima HSV 1 & 2 Assay on Panther
Sensitivity and specificity of the Aptima HSV 1 \& 2 assay will be determined by comparing assay results to results from a reference method representing the true infected status of the subjects. Sensitivity will be reported as the percentage of subjects with an HSV infection who test positive by the Aptima HSV 1 \& 2 assay. Specificity will be reported as the percentage of subjects without an HSV infection who test negative by the Aptima HSV 1 \& 2 assay.
