Seroprevalence of Human Herpesvirus Infections in Newly Diagnosed HIV-Infected Key Populations in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

The IgG seroprevalence of CMV, HSV-1, and HSV-2 was high among HIV-positive key populations. These findings indicate that these individuals are prone to recurrence of HHV infections and may harbor replicating viruses that subsequently may affect HIV disease progression. Therefore, this warrants concerted efforts for integrated HIV and sexually transmitted infection prevention programs targeting key populations.
