What a morbid thing to wonder.
Besides you gotta get laid to get an STD. So probably not too many are at risk here. |

If you are talking about the entire family of Herpesviridae, then virtually everyone here has had at least one of the following: HSV-1 (cold sores), HSV-2 (genital), VZV (chickenpox), EBV (mononucleosis), CMV (ditto), and HHV-6, a common childhood disease.
If you are talking about the painful sores on the genitals, then based on the rate in the general population about 1 in 8 (12.5%) You're welcome. ETA: Looks like the prediction was almost dead-on. |

IBTL Why. Its a legitimate question about a real medical condition. I was wondering what percent of Arf is afflicted. The majority of infected people are asymptomatic carriers for Type 1 and to a lesser extent Type 2. Unless antibody titers are drawn, there is no way to know outside of a clinical infection. You'd be better off asking how many have had an actual herpes sore. |

Don't know many people who have never had a cold sore.

So you might have gotten herpes from your sister or brother instead. Does that make you feel better?

I don't think I have herpes, which is pretty amazing since I'm currently taking immunosuppressants and I used to play with herpesviruses (HSV1, HSV2, CMV, VZV, EBV) in the good old days before laminar flow hoods and the elimination of mouth pipetting. I know I swallowed live herpes virus from a brain sample using an 0.2 mL pipet. I have had one odd disease that I think was CMV (or possibly, adenovirus-related) when I moved to SF, but it's never returned. I never had a lesion suggestive of herpes.

Only about 1/3 of the population gets recurrent herpes infections. In the rest of the cases, the person's immune system is able to completely clear the virus and prevent recurrent infections. I had chickenpox when I was about 3. Never had the shingles since then, probably never will. Since my kids had chickenpox when they were young, I have already had my "booster" shot.

It's weird how the vote here is almost the exact opposite of infection rates in the US. I wonder how many are lying and how many just don't know.
I know that I do not, however. Got a pretty good battery of testing done after a run in with chlamydia, and another after a needle stick while working on the ambulance. |

ETA: I don't have it unless you count a long ago cold sore. Guess what you still have? It's a virus that doesn't go away, it only goes dormant. It's not uncommon for folks to have a single outbreak and then their bodies produce enough antibodies to keep it under control as long as you don't throw it any curveballs i.e. sunburn, stress, some foods, etc. ETA - If you're curious, ask you doctor to check you for HSV-1 and HSV-2 next time they draw blood. |

It isn't that bad, so long as you limit pipetting to non-hazardous materials. But, I made sure that everyone in my lab never mouth-pipetted (except me... who, when no one was watching, in a fit of rebelliousness, would mouth pipet a 'safe' solution). |
