It's not exactly a dangerous infection. It is however a very common one with 1 of 6 people infected here in the US. It does cause very painful and itchy sores during an outbreak. Also women who are pregnant with Herpes my be required to opt for a c-section delivery.

The most challenging issue with Herpes is what it may do to your sex life. It can be difficult to inform future sexual partners.
