I don't know the actual number, but I remember reading somewhere that something like 81% of the population has been exposed to one type of herpes or another. Maybe someone with little more knowledge can comment on this, but simple things like cold sores are actually from a type of herpes.
A few months ago my wife had her annual exam and was reminded when she saw her file that she'd been exposed to herpes in college. She felt horrible for exposing me and not telling me because she'd forgotten....I'm not sure I buy that, but that's a whole other story. My point is, she was exposed, got checked out, never really had a breakout of any kind after the first time, and I have never had a single sign to make me believe I have it.
Take a deep breath and do some research.
