I've been trying to research this but I keep getting various stats.

I keep hearing that in the U.S. 1 in 4 people have herpes, apparently it's very easy to catch through any sexual act and even touching/kissing.

As far as all STDs I'm getting various stats but most of them say a third of people in the U.S. have some sort of STD and some stats say 50-60%

Now common, what's the real story?

I know I live in Canada but it shouldn't matter much.

I have a hard time believing that 25% of Americans have herpes.
