There has been little research on human herpesvirus 6B (HHV‐6B) in healthy adults and prevalences in different age groups have been unclear. Therefore, the major objective of this study was to evaluate seroprevalence to HHV‐6 antibodies in ordinary working people and examine the effect of aging on seroprevalence. Also, as HHV‐6B is reactivated in saliva, another objective was to investigate an association between age and HHV‐6B reactivation based on measured salivary HHV‐6 DNA levels.
