Answers:
Yes that is true, 80-90 percent of the population gets oral herpes which is the exact same thing as the common cold sore.
Herpes is not cancer, hpv, or aids. Herpes Zooster is related to chicken pox. Herpes is also not commonly genetic.
Some people who have herpes don't know that they have it and others are not willing to admit to the fact that cold sores are the same thing as oral herpes and they are contagious.
It is usually spread when some gives another person a kiss on the cheek or mouth usually while the kisser has cold sores. Some times people who get oral herpes get them from a relative or friend giving them a kiss on the cheek when they were a baby and who ever kissed them had cold sores and just didn't know what they were.
It is possible but not likely to get them from sharing drinks, cigarettes, chap stick, utensils with some one who has an active cold sore, but the virus doesn't like to live on objects for more then a few seconds. Unless it's passed immediately from one mouth with cold sores to another there wouldn't be much of a chance to get oral herpes that way. You also can't get herpes from a toilet seat.

I have oral and genital herpes.Health Question & Answer
Yes most of us 80% have come into contact with the virus (herpes), it is that easy to catch. Do not share anything! you never know who's got it. Here's the catch--- only about 20% of those 80% get the ugly cold sores, everyone else (the 60% left) are just carriers of the virus. So just try to have good hygiene, and do not share lip gloss, utensils, towels, smokes, cups, anything! Most people get genital herpes, from recieving oral sex from partners with cold sores on thier faces. so take percation. Herpes, especially oral herpes (cold sores) are a huge disability. People who get them often feel like they have to hide from the world, cant go to work, school, out with friends. Sometimes you cant even eat. Its not something you'd ever want.
