Yup. It's estimated about 1 in 4 women have genital herpes and about 1 in 5 men have it. In the US alone, about 45 million people have genital herpes!
And it's estimated about 75-80% of the world has cold sores!

First, not all of us are running around having sex with each other - you should know that movies do not accurately represent what is going on in real people's lives.
Also, there are many types of herpes viruses, and some of them are very common in the U.S. population. It depends on which herpes virus you are referring to - I expect you mean Herpes Simplex 2 - or genital herpes - the kind you can catch through sexual contact. It is very common - many people who are infected don't show signs of infection. It doesn't really have much to do with how clean you are, just like getting the virus that causes the common cold isn't really about how frequently you take a bath.
By the way, lots of countries have infections that are all over their population. Some Northern African countries, for example - 80% of the population is thought to carry the Helicobater Pylori bacteria. Or even worse, some people estimate that in some African countries, the HIV infection rate is 1 in 3 people.

My best friend has had genital herpes for about eight months now, and it's been really rough. She's had about 7 outbreaks. Everywhere I read it says it stops flaring up so much after time, but its not getting less frequent for her. She's been on Antiviral meds the whole time, too. She also has type 1 diabetes which she has had her whole life, which really weakens her immune system. Will it ever get better?
But after a friend share this video everything has changed.

it incredibly is the parent for adult men with genital herpes. The parent for women human beings is definitely one in 4. that's greater definitely defined via the actuality that 8 out of 10 human beings contaminated with herpes truthfully prepare no indications and are not conscious they have it. confident, those stats are no longer for seropositivity for hsv-a million yet for genital hsv-2. the fee for hsv-a million is definitely 60-ninety 5% based upon age.
