I cant TELL you THE exact NUMBERS but COLDSORES are VERY common (AT least ACCORDING to THE Mayo CLINIC http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cold-sore/DS00358). as for self-esteem issues, once people know that they also have the virus that cause coldsores and are likely to get an outbreak sometime in their life, they'll be less inclined to make fun of someone who has the same virus as they do. another reason why herpes is so taboo is that the two forms are often lumped together, and people make stupid assumptions that coldsore=genital herpes. the girls u refer to need to get educated and deal with the fact that herpes (type 1) is ridiculously common | ||

But read what u linked. I'll say it again...90% of people have the virus...most NEVER have an outbreak. And even though it is fairly common...and the girls i speak of know this...nobody likes having something on their mouth/face that uneducated immature people will make fun of...im sure if u ask the people in in this thread...they will agree cold sores are nothing fun. | ||

i did some research and hsv 1 or 2 can both occur in the 2 common areas (mouth & genitals), and they are pretty much the same. from http://www.herpes.com/hsv1-2.html + Show Spoiler + The common myth is that HSV-1 causes a mild infection that is occasionally bothersome, but never dangerous. The reality? HSV-1 is usually mild, especially when it infects the lips, face, or genitals. However, in some cases type 1 can recur spontaneously in the eye, causing ocular herpes, a potentially serious infection which can lead to blindness. In very rare cases HSV- 1 can spread spontaneously to the brain, causing herpes encephalitis, a dangerous infection that can lead to death. HSV-1 is also the usual cause of herpes whitlow, an infection on the finger, and "wrestler's herpes," (herpes gladiatorum) a herpes infection on the chest or face. The range and potential severity of HSV-1 infections lead some experts to view the virus as more risky than usually perceived. "This is heresy, but I think type 1 is a more significant infection than type 2," says Spotswood Spruance, MD, an oral HSV specialist at the University of Utah. "Type 1, and the morbidity associated with it, are underestimated." The problem is if a person is with a girl who has the virus but no symptoms, there is still a small chance he might get it, and maybe for him the symptoms are serious if he gets it. | ||

And no, public toilet seats are not a good place for bacteria/virus to grow and live. Unless of course there is stuff on the seat like piss or shit , but then who is gonna sit there anyways. There was a study where they swabbed random toilets and then swabbed people's butt cheeks and found that their asses/toilets were cleaner than their faces. (video of it somewhere). | ||
