How may deaths have occurred due to herpes simplex virus?

The Herpes simplex virus is not a fatal disease. The Herpes Simplex 1, or fever blister, can be transferred from one person to another by a simple kiss. The Simplex 2 virus, or genital herpes, can be transmitted by unprotected sexual contact with someone who has the virus when it is in its contageous form. The virus lives in the nerve endings and creates a blister on the skin that can be irritating but not fatal. See the related link for more information. A man calls 911 and the ambulance arrives.

The man replies back 'You do when you gives it to me'.
