Ok, here goes. We've all heard about the "classic" symptoms of genital herpes. The painful blisters and nasty sores. We get the nightmare scenario in high school health class.
However, I've been researching genital herpes online. I've read that "many" people with herpes have no symptoms. I've read that "most" people with herpes never have symptoms. And, on those commercials for herpes meds, they say that 70% of people with herpes got it from their partner that never knew they had it.
Now, if so many people out there aren't having any symptoms, does that mean that only a small percentage of people infected with genital herpes have symptoms? Does that mean that for most people infected, it's no big deal because they have no symptoms?
Please explain.
