Global and regional estimates of the number of new (incident) cases of HSV-1 infection in 2012 by age and sex, in millions (percentage of population with incident infection shown in parentheses).

Totals may be slightly different due to rounding. Sex-specific estimates for Africa, Eastern Mediterranean, South-East Asia and Western Pacific were generated by applying modelled incidence, calibrated without stratification by sex, to sex-specific population sizes. Region-specific estimates are given to 3 d.p. due to some small numbers of infected individuals, but this level of accuracy is unlikely to be supported by the model.Global and regional estimates of the number of new (incident) cases of HSV-1 infection in 2012 by age and sex, in millions (percentage of population with incident infection shown in parentheses).
