Abstract
- The trends in Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) seroprevalence was examined in the US in 1999-2004 compared with 1988-1994. Findings revealed that the decline in HSV-2 suggested that the trajectory of increasing HSV-2 seroprevalence in the US is reversed and decrease in seroprevalence of HSV-1 but increase in the incidence of genital herpes caused by HSV-1.
