Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

BD ProbeTec HSV 1 & 2 Qx (on the BD Viper XTR) and the Aptima HSV 1 & 2 (on the Hologic Panther) assays were compared. Of 257 clinical samples, 96.6% positive and 88.5% negative results were concordant, respectively. The BD assay was more sensitive than the Aptima, but the latter was more specific.
