How many viruses are there that can infect people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Field of virology: There are many, many viruses out there. In fact, the more we look, the more we find! Some of the most common viruses are the 'flu', herpes, the virus that causes the common cold, and some of the more dangerous ones like HIV-1. Best to practice good hygiene, especially now with the colder Fall weather and the increased chances of viral infections. We doctors often recommend the flu shot!
