Best Answer

Herpes is one of the most preveliant infections out there.

About 1 in 4 sexually active adults have herpes.

There are approximatly 1 million cases of herpes diagnosed ever year.

About every 30 seconds some one contracts herpes.

But not every one that has it knows they have it. Some people can contract herpes and not have break outs or symptoms.
