Genital herpes is an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), and it is estimated that 20%-25% of American women have herpes.

There are two types of HSV, type 1 and type 2. Type 1 causes 60% to 70% of all oral herpes infections while type 2 causes 90% to 95% of genital herpes infections.
