In this study, the sera of 12 cases of transsexuals with vaginoplasty and 15 cases of homosexuals have been investigated with ELISA from the view point of HSV-2 IgG and IgM. Twenty-five cases were within the 18-26 age groups and the other 2 transsexuals were 36 years old. Our study group has not significant clinical pathology. All of the 27 cases of transsexuals and homosexuals have been found positive for HSV-2 IgG. In 7 cases HSV-2 IgM have been found positive, the other 20 cases gave negative results. In the one third of the transsexuals and one fifth of the homosexuals, HSV-2 IgG have been found positive. Twenty-six percent of seropositivity in transsexuals and homosexuals show that they are the significant risk group for HSV-2 infection.
