and now these days that 1 out of 5 are spitting out 4 to 5 ninos that have herpes to so they are screwed from the first day on earth!. it's probably what happened to you!. herpes is everywhere man!. go get checked, again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A study was done quite a few years ago (1996 or 1997 I think) by Emory and the CDC that estimated 1 in 5 Americans are infected with HSV-2!. Results of the nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States!. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection!. Over the past decade, the percent of Americans with genital herpes infection in the U!.S!. has decreased!. The study is probably still pretty accurate!. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection which is likely why the virus is so prevalent!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's true, one in five ADULTS has genital herpes, but 70-something percent of those people don't even know they have it!!

Also, 80 percent of the adult population has type one, the type that normally causes cold sores!. HOWEVER, it is now a huge cause of new genital herpes infections!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

actually in some areas it's 1 and 4!. and it's 90% that do not know they have it, not 70%!. this is because most people infected with the virus show no symptoms at all!. that's why it is so important to get checked! if you've slept with four or more people, chances are you've been exposed to the virus!. TRUST ME get tested!. if you do not believe in the add, get tested for piece of mindWww@Answer-Health@Com
