Study Summary

The investigators propose a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial to evaluate the effect of oral and topical (vaginal gel) tenofovir on genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) shedding among herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) seropositive, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seronegative women. The investigators hypothesize that tenofovir will reduce genital HSV shedding compared to placebo.

Primary Outcome

The within-person changes in rate of HSV shedding during study drug administration (treatment phase) compared with the rate of HSV shedding during lead-in observation phase in the same participants. We evaluated only weeks 2-5 of HSV shedding during the treatment phase in comparison with the 4 weeks of the lead-in phase. We excluded the first week of samples from the treatment phase in order to allow for physiologic run-in of the treatment. This is analyzed separately for each treatment arm and
