A member asked:
Can you give me a percentage of people that develop genital herpes symptoms and people that don't develop symptoms when they are first infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Already Answered: 90% of patients who are positive for genital herpes do not get sores or outbreaks. This is new information. Almost everything we learned about herpes before five years ago was wrong.
