Abstract
Sera from 487 individuals in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, were tested for antibodies to herpes simplex virus (HSV) by a passive hemagglutination method. Age-specific incidence rates for antibodies to HSV were calculated. For sera from persons other than prostitutes, in the age group from 10 to 19, the positive rate was 48% but in the age group higher than 20, it was more than 87%. Fifty of 59 pregnant women (85%) were positive. The positive rate and the distribution of antibody levels in prostitutes were higher than in the general population. © 1989, Center For Academic Publications Japan. All rights reserved.
