There are two types of herpes virus (one affecting you orally, the other "genitally"). Additionally, what confuses me even more is that there are two strains (Type 1 and Type 2). Have a read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpes_simplex_virus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpes_simplex_virus and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpes_simplex http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpes_simplex I can't confirm if the two strains/types are the cause for discrepancy in your stats, but it's worth a look. Anyone have more info on this? Odd/funny story: I have the oral/harmless version of Herpes, and I once made the mistake of asking a GP for more info. He pulled out a fat textbook, and proceeded to look it up in front of me. Needless to say, that was a very fruitless conversation, and I changed doctors after that incident.
