In a cross-sectional study, the occurrence of a self-reported history of labial herpes was evaluated. The study population comprised a stratified random sample of 5,000 individuals, aged 0-60 y, from south-west Sweden. A questionnaire, together with written and photographic descriptions of labial herpes lesions, was sent to the participants. Of 5,000 questionnaires sent out, 3597 (72%) were returned. In answer to the question "Have you ever had herpes?" the point estimate was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.1%-28.1%) and for the question "Have you had herpes in the last 2 y?" it was 19.4 (95% CI 18.0-20.8). The proportion of individuals who had had herpes was higher for the older age groups. About 5% of children aged < or = 5 y had experienced labial herpes. Herpes was more frequently reported by females than males: odds ratio 1.29 (95% CI 1.10-1.51). Compared to previous studies in Sweden, our data do not indicate that the occurrence of labial herpes lesions has decreased.
