This behavior allows the installation and propagation of Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Aim: To determine the presence of antibodies to HSV-2 in a Yukpa Amerindian community at Zulia State, Venezuela. Subjects and methods: We studied 96 natives, between 13 and 49 years old (62.3% of the whole population, 100% of individuals in fertile age). Control population consisted of 76 individuals, with similar sex and age range distribution, of the urban population from Maracaibo, Zulia State, Venezuela. HSV-2 serologic status was determined by an indirect fluorescent antibody test. Results: Antibodies to HSV-2 were detected in 53.1% of Yukpa population and 21.1% of urban population. Aboriginal women aged 21 to 40 years old had a prevalence of antibodies against HSV-2 of 66.7%. Among pregnant native women, the prevalence of antibodies against HSV-2 was 54.6%. Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of antibodies against HSV-2 among Yukpa natives in Venezuela.
