HPV = 3 in 4
genital herpes = 1 in 4 (but these are old numbers, and it may be even more common now)
oral herpes = 80% of the population

agreed. It is without a doubt HPV.

With out a doubt HPV. It is completely unrecordable because the only way one can find out if they have it is if warts are present which occurs in less than 5% of cases. Or if the woman's pap smear comes back abnormal in which 90% of the time the abnormalities are caused from high risk HPV strands. In which men don't know they have because there are no symptoms.
