Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemiological data in Thailand are limited. We assessed ZIKV IgG seroprevalence among young adults during 1997–2017 and determined factors associated with ZIKV IgG seropositivity. This retrospective laboratory study included randomly selected subjects aged 18–25 years participating in large clinical studies conducted in Thailand during 1997–2017. Stored plasma samples were analyzed for ZIKV IgG using an ELISA test (Anti-Zika Virus IgG, EUROIMMUN, Lübeck, Germany). Sociodemographic, clinical and laboratory data were used in univariable and multivariable analyses to identify factors associated with ZIKV IgG positivity. Of the 1648 subjects included, 1259 were pregnant women, 844 were living with HIV and 111 were living with HBV. ZIKV IgG seroprevalence was similar among the HIV-infected and -uninfected pregnant women (22.8% vs. 25.8%, p-value = 0.335) and was overall stable among the pregnant women, with a 25.2% prevalence. Factors independently associated with ZIKV IgG positivity included an age of 23–25 years as compared to 18–20 years, an HIV RNA load below 3.88 log10 copies/mL and birth in regions outside northern Thailand. Our study shows that a large proportion of the population in Thailand probably remains susceptible to ZIKV infection, which could be the ground for future outbreaks. Continued surveillance of ZIKV spread in Thailand is needed to inform public health policies.
