NIAID Herpes Vaccine Research Study Seeks Volunteers

A new NIAID clinical research study investigates the safety of a herpes simplex virus (HSV) vaccine in people aged 18 to 40 years with and without HSV infection. Volunteers in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area who are in good general health are invited to participate in the study, which involves 12 study visits at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
