This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of HSV1 IgG among Taiz university lecturers, officers and students. Briefly, 5ml venous blood was collected from 180 participants in this study. Titer of HSV1 was determined by specific ELISA kit. Almost 91.1% (164/180) were seropositive to HSV1. Regarding to gender 91.93% of males and 89.28% of females were seropositive to HSV1. The highest seropositive 100% among 46-55 and 56-65 years old. Lower HSV1 seropositive among lecturers compared with officers and students. Lower infection was observed among members from faculty of Education, Art and Faculty of engineering and Information Technology. Almost infection was same between members from urban and rural regions. Among all people, 85.71% suffered from HSV1 reinfection. This study showed high seroprevalence of HSV1 among University members due to socioeconomic status and poor hygiene in Yemen as results from war and economic problems that country pass through.
