Genital HSV-2 infections have increased in prevalence by more than 30% over the last two decades with 1 in 5 adults now positive for antibodies to HSV-2. Fifteen percent of white men, 20% of white women, 35% of black men, and 55% of black women are HSV-2 seropositive. Prevalence of HSV-2 has in creased 5-fold among teenagers and has doubled among those in their twenties.(10) Since HSV-1 causes from 20% to 40% of first episodes of genital herpes, these figures underestimate the total burden of genital herpes in this country.
