Herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 Western Blot serology test results from 1999-2020 in a US reference laboratory
We analyzed 162,397 de-identified HSV Western Blot results performed at the University of Washington Virology Laboratory from 1999 to 2020. HSV-1 seroprevalence declined by 0.53% per year, while indeterminate HSV-1 results increased by 0.08% annually. Similarly, HSV-2 seroprevalence decreased by 0.72% and indeterminate results increased by 0.16% each year.
