So, I'm watching TV tonight, and there's a commercial for Valtrex, a herpes medication. All right. The commerical stated that 1 in 5 Americans have herpes. I think it may be a little overstated! This is trivia that goes beyond, "Huh, that's interesting!"
errr
On herpes dot com it states on their homepage that Oral herpes, an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus, is estimated to be present in 50 to 80 percent of the American adult population. 20 percent, over 50 million people, are infected with genital herpes, also caused by the herpes simplex virus, and the majority of these cases may be unaware they even have it.
Worldwide statistics is going to make me gasp for sure. I've already coughed up my morning coffee
