Original Note:
People are not “dirty” for having an extremely common virus. 50 to 80 percent of American adults have oral herpes (HSV-1). The virus can be passed on through birth. Most people are first exposed to HSV between ages 1 and 5 years of age. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/herpes-hsv1-and-hsv2 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK525779/ https://www.healthychildren.org/English/health-issues/conditions/skin/Pages/Herpes-Simplex-Virus-Cold-Sores.aspx
