Few studies from India documented seroprevalence of HSV 1 and 2 infection in different population groups. We determined HSV 1 and 2 seroprevalence in a cohort of adults 16-40 year of age, attending the family planning clinic. For the overall study population, 63% were seropositives, 33.3% for HSV 1 alone. 16.6% for HSV 2 and 13.3% had mixed infection. By the statistical analysis, the mean age difference between the two sexes for either infection was not significant. HSV-2 seroprevalence was associated with an increasing age. Men were more likely than women to be seropositive for HSV2. More studies from India are required to coroborate our findings.
