Résumé (français)  :

Abstract (English)  :

To help stop the spread of genital herpes and HIV infection among adults in the United States and to prevent most cases of neonatal herpes, physicians should obtain type-specific herpes simplex virus serology from all pregnant women at the first prenatal visit.

…

With respect to cost, type-specific HSV serologic screening of pregnant women was recently shown via an extensive decision-analysis model to be a cost effective intervention for preventing neonatal herpes.

As for familial impact, although universal HSV serologic screening of pregnant women represents a potential risk for marital disruption, the health benefits of such screening far outweigh the risks. At the University of Washington, we have screened more than 30,000 couples since the early 1980s, and there have been few if any marital disruptions as a consequence of the screening.
