Odds of never having a herpes outbreak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not good: Most humans are infected with herpes simplex virus at some time in early life, and once infected the virus never leaves you. There are many people who have no or mild outbreaks, but the odds of never ever having these is low.
