The ratios of the yields of primary charged antiparticles to particles have been obtained for pions, kaons, and protons near midrapidity for p+p collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200 GeV. Ratios of <{pi}{sup -}/{pi}{sup +}>=1.000{+-}0.012 (stat.) {+-} 0.019 (syst.), <K{sup -}/K{sup +}>=0.93{+-}0.05 (stat.) {+-} 0.03 (syst.), and <p/p>=0.85{+-}0.04 (stat.) {+-} 0.03 (syst.) have been measured. The reported values represent the ratio of the yields averaged over the rapidity range of 0.1<y{sub {pi}}<1.3 and 0<y{sub K,p}<0.8, and for transverse momenta of 0.1<p{sub T}{sup {pi}}{sup ,K}<1.0 GeV/c and 0.3<p{sub T}{sup p}<1.0 GeV/c. Within the uncertainties, all three ratios are consistent with the values measured in d+Au collisions at the same energy. The data are compared to results from other collision systems and energies.
