Özet

In this study, the sera of 12 cases of transsexual with vaginoplasty and 15 cases of homosexual have been investigated with ELISA from the view point of HSV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies. Twenty-five cases were within the 18-26 age groups and the other 2 transsexuals were 36 years old. Our studying group have no significant clinical pathology. In all the 27 cases of transsexual and homosexual have been found to be positive for HSV-2 IgG. In 7 cases, HSV-2 IgM have been found positive, the other 20 cases have been found negative results. In the one third of the transsexuals and one fifth of the transsexuals HSV-2 IgG have been found positive. Twenty-six per cent of seropositivity in transsexuals and homosexuals show that they form significant risk group from the point of view of HSV-2 infection.
