Who knew?</h1>
<div class="header">
In 70% of cases, genital herpes was transmitted when there were no signs or symptoms.<span
class="sup">1</span></div>
<br />
Genital herpes is more common than you may realize. In fact, about 1 in every 5
North Americans has genital herpes, so you are not alone.<span class="sup">2</span>
<br />
<br />
Even though you are careful, you may not be doing everything possible to protect
your partner from genital herpes. The more you know about genital herpes - and how
it is transmitted - the more you can do to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus
to your partner.
<br />
<br />
Only your doctor can advise you of all the ways to reduce this risk. Even so, by
visiting this site, you have taken an important step in helping to prevent the transmission
of genital herpes.

<div class="disclaimer">
* Based on a clinical study to determine the risk of spreading genital herpes (GH)
in 144 heterosexual couples in which one partner had GH, and the other did not.
Couples were followed for a median 334 days and were counseled to abstain from skin
to skin contact in the presence of lesions. Couples were educated on the potential
protection offered by condoms during periods when there were no visible signs or
symptoms.
