ACTIV-2/A5401 Study Results

New Study Results with a photo of Dr. Chew and Dr. Currier
 

Identifying characteristics associated with SARS-CoV-2 RNA shedding may be useful to understand viral compartmentalization, disease pathogenesis, and risks for viral transmission. In this study, SARS-CoV-2 RNA shedding was concordant across compartments. Age was strongly associated with viral shedding and men had slower viral clearance than women, which could explain sex differences in acute COVID-19 outcomes.
