Herpes Facts
There are 8 known herpes viruses:
Herpes, in its common usage, refers to the herpes simplex viruses, of which there are two types: type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Approximately 80% of US adults have oral/facial herpes, usually caused by HSV-1. Approximately 25% of US adults (roughly 45 million adults) have genital herpes, usually caused by HSV-2. One million new cases of genital herpes occur each year. Up to 90% of people with genital herpes don’t know they have it, as their symptoms are often mild, mistaken for another condition, or nonexistent. Genital herpes is transmitted sexually and can be spread at any time, not only during outbreaks. Though there is no cure, there are treatment options available that can reduce the severity, frequency and duration of outbreaks, as well as minimize the risk of infecting sexual partners.
