Any HSV2 Nudists on This Site?

28 October 2015 GENEVA - More than 3.7
billion people under the age of 50- or 67% of
the population are infected with herpes
simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), according to
WHO's first global estimates of HSV-1 infection
published today in the journal PLOS ONE. Herpes
simplex virus is categorized into 2 types: herpes simplex virus
type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Both HSV-1
and HSV-2 are highly infectious and incurable. HSV-1 is primarily
transmitted by oral-oral contact and in most cases causes orolabial
herpes or cold sores around the
mouth. HSV-2 is almost entirely sexually transmitted through
skin-to-skin contact, causing genital
herpes.

The new estimates highlight,
however, that HSV-1 is also an important cause of genital herpes.
Some 140 million people aged 15-49 years are infected with genital
HSV-1 infection, primarily in the Americas, Europe and Western
Pacific. Fewer people in high-income countries are becoming
infected with HSV-1 as children, likely due to better hygiene and
living conditions, and are instead at risk of contracting it
genitally through oral sex after they become sexually
active.
