What is the percentage of people who show symptoms herpes?

Approximately 60-90% of people infected with the herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1, which causes oral herpes, show no symptoms or have very mild symptoms that may go unnoticed. Similarly, up to 20% of individuals with a genital HSV-2 infection may remain asymptomatic. However, it's important to note that even in asymptomatic cases, the virus can still be transmitted to others.
