How common do you think it is?  I think it is very, very common.  Statistics show it affects about 1 in 3 people.  Do you know anyone who has it? (self included?)

I know a few people who have it.

My daughter has just sent me some information on something called Lectroject, apparently it is something that is used to inject medicine directly into the herpes blister?? Never heard of it but has anyone else. Any suggestions at all on how to treat herpes outbreak on the lips? Thanks so much!
