| The University
of Washington Virology Research Clinic was established
25 years ago to conduct research on viral sexually transmitted infections
and is a world-renowned leader in herpes research. Our mission is
to investigate the epidemiology and natural history of herpes simplex
virus (HSV), and to evaluate new therapies and vaccines for HSV.
Currently, our special areas of interest are prevention of HSV transmission,
HSV vaccines and the interactions between HSV and HIV. |
The Virology Research
Clinic is always recruiting volunteers to participate in our new
studies. Participating in our research is a great way to learn
more about genital herpes. Study participants receive extensive
education about genital herpes and how to better care for it.
Participation in the research studies offers free examinations,
free testing for herpes and, often, free medication.
