A member asked:

Can you tell me is herpes simplex virus type 1 very common?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not uncommon: Although hsv 1 infections occur worldwide, in the United States there are about 500, 000 primary hsv 1 infections every year. Most clinical presentations are not serious, if the patient has a normal immune system.
