Overview

Cross-sectional study finds 93.24% seroprevalence of IgG antibodies to herpes simplex viruses in HIV-positive children, highlighting a critical healthcare need.

Key Points

  • The seroprevalence of IgG antibodies against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 was found to be 93.24%.
  • Among 74 participants, 69 tested positive for IgG antibodies, indicating widespread exposure to herpes simplex viruses.
  • The study highlights the need for systematic diagnostic measures for children born HIV-positive due to the high seroprevalence rate.
  • Data suggests that the presence of these antibodies is associated with the age of the participants, hinting at potential epidemiological patterns.
