Genital herpes, also known as HSV-2, is a common sexually transmitted disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about one in six persons in the US has genital herpes, or 16.2%. However, as many as 90% of those infected are unaware that they have the virus. This is because many people have never have symptoms, or very mild symptoms that go unrecognized.
Genital herpes is more common among females affecting approximately 1 out of 5 women. Genital herpes affects about 1 in 9 men. It is more likely for an infected male to transmit genital herpes to his female partner than from an infected female to her male partner.
The only way to know whether you have genital herpes is to get tested. You should speak to your health care practitioner for advice. There are also numerous commercial health-care solutions available on the internet.
