According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), about 80 percent
of people in the United States are infected with HSV-1. Most acquire the
infection as children from contact with oral fluids from an infected
person. Infection with the virus is thought to be equally common in both
sexes and all races and ethnic groups.
People with weakened immune systems, such as patients being
treated for cancer or HIV infection, are at increased risk of getting cold
sores if they are exposed to HSV-1.
