Herpes Simplex Virus - HSV
Forty-five million people in the United States are infected with the herpes simplex virus (HSV). According to estimates 500,000 new cases of herpes occur annually. A shocking 80 percent of people infected with HSV are never aware that they are infected because either they never develop symptoms or they fail to recognize the symptoms when they do occur. Would you recognize the symptoms of the herpes simplex virus or HSV if it happened to you?
