Genital herpes by the numbers: How common is it?

In the U.S., genital herpes is very common. Probably more common than you think, in fact. This STD affects at least 45 million people. In other words, approximately 16% of the population has genital herpes caused by HSV-2. This number is likely higher since many genital herpes cases are caused by HSV-1, the strain most responsible for oral herpes.

Genital herpes is a widespread infection, but the majority of cases—up to 90%—are undiagnosed. This STD often doesn’t produce symptoms, or signs are so mild, they are mistaken for other common conditions.

When it comes to men and women, genital herpes affects the sexes disproportionately. This STD is more common in women due to anatomical differences. One in five women is infected with genital herpes from HSV-2, while the virus infects one in nine men.


Since genital herpes is difficult to diagnose, the best way to know your status is through STD testing. A blood test for genital herpes can detect this condition, even when symptoms aren’t present.

    Hello everyone I’m here to share a testimony on how my GENITAL HERPES was cure by a herbal Doctor with the help of his herbal medicine, as we all know medically, there is no solution or cure for Herpes yet. Someone introduced me to a man (Native Medical Practitioner), I showed the man all my Tests and Results and I told him i have already been diagnosed with GENITAL HERPES VIRUS and have spent thousands of dollars on medication and yet no cure. I said I will like to try him cause someone introduced me to him. He asked me sorts of questions and I answered him correctly. To cut the story short, He send me some medicinal herbs through FedEx Company which i received within 3days and he told me how am going to take the herbal medicine. At first I was skeptical but I just gave it a try. I was on his Medication for 2 weeks and I take his herbs according to his instructions. That the herb will cure me within 14days. And I called him 2weeks after, I arrived and I told him what is the next thing he said, he has been expecting my call. He told me to visit my doctor for another test. Honestly speaking, i never believe all he was saying until after the test when my Doctor mention the statement that I am HERPES negative,all outbreaks gone,and my Doctor started asking me how come about the cure, And I make a promise to Dr Idibia that if I’m heal I will testify his good work in my life, if there is anyone out there who may need the help of HERBALIST IDIBIA you can email him via his email address ;DRIDIBIA@GMAIL.COM, For any type of sickness he can cure many diseases ans infection or call him via his number +2348100527864

  16. Am from England, Oxford,UK ...HIV has been ongoing in my family for long..I lost both parents to HIV/AIDS. As we all know medically, there is no solution or cure for HIV and the cost for Medication is very expensive. Someone introduced me to a man (Native Medical Practitioner) in Africa called Dr Ogudugu. I showed him all my Tests and Results and I told him that i have already been diagnosed of HIV and have spent thousands of dollars on medication. I said I will like to try him cause someone introduced me to him. He asked me sorts of questions and I answered him correctly. To cut the story short, He gave me some medicinal soaps and some herbs(have forgot the name he called them) and he thought me how am going to use them all. At first I was skeptical but I just gave it a try. I was on his Medication for 2 weeks and I used all the soaps and herbs according to his prescription. That he will finish the rest himself. And I called him 3 days after, I arrived and I told him what is the next thing he said, he has been expecting my call. He told me to visit my doctor for another test. Honestly speaking, i never believe all he was saying until after the test when my doctor mention the statement that am HIV negative and the doctor started asking me how do I do it....Am telling this story in case anyone may need this man’s help. you can contact him directly on this email: greatogudugu@gmail.com
