THe shingles virus is dormant in anyone who has had chicken pox. I believe that more people have had chicken pox than have herpes simplex 1.

I chose this answer because I see more of the herpes such as cold sores or fever blisters. The shingles normally lay dormant for many years and only occur if you've had the chicken pox

HSV can lay dormant for years...often many do not know they carry the virus. As a result, it can easily be passed. The mass population often do not know simple universal precautions to protect themselves as well as others from transmission. Until a full blown rash presents, general symptoms or no symptoms at all do not contribute to protection.

Sure they are out there; but I have never met a person over the age of 20 that has never had a cold sore.
