There are over 80 variations of the herpes virus that have been identified, only eight of them are responsible for the disease in humans. The most common of these are the HSV-1 and HSV-2 forms. A couple of other common herpes viruses that affect humans includes chicken pox (varicella zoster) and shingles (herpes zoster).
According to http://www.genital-herpes-simplex.com

80% to 90% of the population has HSV-1 (cold sores / fever blisters).
75% of those infected with genital herpes do not even know it.
Male to male transfer of HSV-2 is the most efficient transmission route.
Male to female transmission is more efficient than female to male.
1 in 5 adult males has HSV-2 and 1 in 4 adult females has HSV-2.
There are approximately 1 million new cases of HSV-2 in the US annually.

There is no known cure for either of these forms of herpes but there are prescription and natural treatments that can lessen the length and the severity of an outbreak.
The best line of defense is to always use a condom during intercourse. A condom is not 100% effective but it will greatly reduce the risk. One should also absolutely not have sex during an outbreak during the time the \"Shedding\" process is taking place.
