Abstract

Background and Objective: Genital Herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world especially in women and has high prevalence in developed and developing countries. It is the third cause of sexually transmitted diseases after Gonoccocal and Chlamydia infections in the world. HSV-2 is the main cause of Genital Herpes. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of HSV-2 in pap-smear samples among Ahvazian married women uisng PCR method. Subjects and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 276 pap-smear samples from women aged 16-72 years old who referred to women clinics during years 2017 and 2018, were collected. DNA was extracted; and indentification of the virus in the collected samples was performed using specific primers and PCR test. Results: Twenty four samples (8. 7 %) from married women were contaminated by HSV-2. The highest frequency of infection was observed in the age group of 46-55 years old and in women with normal cytology and mild inflammation. Conclusions: According to these results it can be concluded that infection prevalence by Herpes virus is more in age group of women with high sexual activity. In addition, with reference to relatively high infection frequency by this virus, in active sexually groups, regular screening for this virus at 5-year intervals is necessary.
