NPR interview w/Dr Peter Leone - New stats (to me at least) about H prevalence in older community

Well, that's new info to me! But I wouldn't doubt it thanks to the lack of education, testing, and the fact that it spreads asymptomatically :p

"As the population ages up, the overall percentage of folks infected increases as well because there's no cure.

So if you look at some population-based data in the United States and look at unmarried adults, meaning folks between the ages of 45 and 50, for women, we know the prevalence rate for genital herpes due to HSV-2 is between 50 and 70 percent. So we're looking at close to the majority or the majority of folks in that age group who are single having genital herpes. "

@Adrial !!! Have you seen this????
