Almost all of us have at least one or two herpes virus strains in us. The issue is whether or not they cause outbreaks.

Worldwide rates of either HSV-1 or HSV-2 are between 60% and 95% in adults.[4] HSV-1 is usually acquired during childhood.[1] Rates of both increase as people age.[4] Rates of HSV-1 are between 70% and 80% in populations of low socioeconomic status and 40% to 60% in populations of improved socioeconomic status.[4] An estimated 536 million people worldwide (16% of the population) were infected with HSV-2 as of 2003 with greater rates among women and those in the developing world.[10] Most people with HSV-2 do not realize that they are infected.[1] The name is from Greek: ἕρπης herpēs, which is related to the meaning "to creep", referring to spreading blisters.[11] The name does not refer to latency.[12]

For the majority there are never any symptoms.
A small number will have repeated outbreaks which are easily dealt with.
Some will have one or two outbreaks while the immune system trains itself to deal with the virus and after that they'll never have an outbreak again.
Herpes is overrated. The flu bug is far more dangerous. It kills more than 500,000 people annually.
If you fuck a whore you should be more worried about catching the flu virus. It could kill you in less than a fortnight. Herpes is just a minor inconvenience.
(Just putting things in the right perspective.)
