  1. Herpes is very common.  Some STI clinics don't routinely even test for it because it is so common.  They will swab for herpes if there is an active outbreak, but otherwise they don't even test for it.  For some people they will have an initial outbreak and may never have an outbreak again.  Some people have it worse.  A lot of people will have an outbreak and a few more outbreaks, but the longer they have it the outbreaks are less frequent and farther apart between outbreaks.  I would think the statistics that "justsexnowatl" posted are pretty accurate.  For a lot of people herpes is a nuisance and nothing more.  Some choose to go on treatment to suppress future outbreaks, and some aren't even having outbreaks, but they can still transmit herpes to others.  I'm sorry for the people who get bad outbreaks.  For the most part I think a lot of people don't even know they have it because they don't show any symptoms or have outbreaks.
