About 25%. 1 in 4 women, 1 in 5 men. It's more common in blacks and homosexual men, less common in lesbians. Most of these people don't know, because they don't have sores.
Just about everyone you know has the herpies.

In the United States, it is estimated that around 20 million new cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including STDs, occur each year. Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over 1 million sexually transmitted infections are acquired every day. These numbers vary by region and specific type of infection. Regular testing and practicing safe sex are key in preventing the spread of STDs.

I am not aware of any world wide figures, but in the US, for example, 1 out of 5 women age 14-49 have genital herpes (for men it is 1 out of 9). Based on this data alone, I would estimate at least 1 out of 4 people world wide have a STD.

a matter a fact there are about 30 million people with STD'S
Tens of millions in the US have a sexually transmitted disease.
Studys are done regularly throughout the world, however as the incidence of STD's is so big in poor countrys it is imposible to come up with acurate figures, many people die before a cause of death is ever recorded.

Every 30 seconds some one gets genital herpes. About 1 million people get herpes each year. About 50,000,000 people have herpes in the US.

Herpes is one of the most common infections / stds out there.
