Oh! I hope you didn't misinterpret my meaning! I didn't mean to dismiss any information, just to say that HSV-2 can be passed when no outbreaks are present and that this happens in the majority of cases, but also allowing for commercial propaganda, as not citing my source for that information would be rather rude of me. Then the quote printed after brings up some studies on viral shedding that I thought were interesting.
My knowledge of HSV-1, if that's what you're referring to, is only anecdotal. I don't have any numbers on that HSV-1 and the two do appear to be different in terms of how easily they are transmitted and such. I don't have any numbers to dismiss there, so I'm assuming you're talking about the 70% thing?
Forgive me, while I'm not sure what or how you were interpreting my comment, I had no intention of dismissing any scientific information. I am well aware the fact that HSV is passed when there are no outbreaks and was trying to get this across. I suppose I worded it badly.
