If 50-60% of college-aged people have Herpes 1 virus, why aren't there more people with cold sores out there?

If Oral Herpes (HSV-1) virus is supposedly so common -- articles keep saying that around 80% of people over 40, and 50-60% of college students have Oral Herpes but may be unaware of it -- then why don't I see more people walking around outside with cold sores?

I hardly ever see anybody with cold sores when I walk around in malls, on campus, at the bus station, etc. So is the 50-80% figure a myth?

If it gets really hot or really cold in the future or when it gets closer to exam times, take a closer look you may see more people with cold sores. Stress, being out in hot or cold weather for long periods of time can trigger break outs. Some times illnesses can trigger break outs too. Some people can have cold sores and not have any signs or symptoms of it and some people can have very small cold sores.

Cold sores are caused by the herpes virus. Many of us already have the cold sore virus dormant in our bodies, and never have a flare up of cold sores. We contracted it as children, as it is a very common virus, and children pick it up easily as they often share food and drinks, and may be less concerned about hand washing and hygiene. Cold sores can be transmitted even when the person does not have a cold sore, though it is less likely to happen then.

remember that you can remove genital warts by surgery, freezing, laser, acid or cream but genital warts can reappear again and again because genital warts appears when your immune system is weak!

I got diagnosed with herpes type 2 about seven years ago, when I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. However, Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again!
