Abstract
Background Thisstudy sought to provide the first population estimates of herpes simplex type2 (HSV-2) seroprevalence inCanada. Goal Tomeasure the antenatal seroprevalence of HSV-2 antibodies in reproductive agewomen. StudyDesign An anonymous unlinked seroprevalence study usedstored sera collected from pregnant women in British Columbia during 1999.Randomized sampling within age strata selected a total of 1215 subjects, ages15 to 44 years. Serologic testing used the Gull Meridian Test. Overallprevalence was directly standardized to the 1999 Canadian femalepopulation. Results Theage-adjusted prevalence for HSV-2 was 17.3% (95% CI, 15.2–19.4).Prevalence ranged from 7.1% (ages, 15–19 years) to 28.1% (ages,40–44 years), with the largest increases after the age of 24years. Conclusions TheHSV-2 seroprevalence among pregnant women in British Columbia is similar tothat in the United States and other countries. Seroprevalence continues torise through the later reproductive years. This observation may relate tocontinued transmission, an age cohort effect, orboth.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
