Certain data regarding sex , address, education and occupation were recorded .The study showed that (315) (79.09%) of evaluated persons were positive for anti-herpes simplex virus IgG antibody with (P<0.001) and more prevalent in females (40.4%) than males (38.69%) , predominantly in age group (21-40 years )(39.6%) , with a significant differences (P<0.001) and more prevalent in civilized and those of low education levels (P<0.001) . Also the HSV-1 antibody was more prevalent (56.51%) than HSV-2 (43.45%) , without significant value .
