Too low for worry: Same questioner answered 2 hr ago? Nobody can estimate the chance accurately without more information, but 1 in 2000 probably is too high. According to the National Safety Council, if you reside in the US, you have a higher chance (1 in 1,756) of dying in an accident in the next 12 months. And you're worried about 1 in 2000 for herpes??? Mellow out and move on. And don't forget your seat belt!
