Welcome to the FACTS website |

It's really common. Around 1 in 8 of us are carrying the genital herpes virus.
The symptoms are not always easy to identify - and some people who have the virus have no symptoms at all (which means they can pass it on without a clue).
Up to 80% of people with genital herpes don't even realise they have it.
If you do have symptoms, in most cases they can be controlled with a simple treatment.
And if your main concern is the risk of passing the virus on, that can be managed as well. Refer to Herpes Prevention.
