No, herpes isn't as notorius for claiming hundreds of lives than the
fatal AIDS virus. I bet most of us don't even know its symptoms, more so the fact that it's fatal! Studies show that there's a big difference between the mortality rates of untreated and treated herpes patients.
The mortality rates of untreated herpes patients go as high as 75% overall - be it children or adults. This is because not getting professional treatment from medical doctors also make the patients lack the information on possible herpes treatmeant methods and the symptoms of the disease. Without the symptoms being known, having a
healthy lifestyle, which is one possible treatment for the disease, isn't practiced.
The
mortality rates of treated herpes patients continuously decreases as doctors all over the world communicate with each other, much easier nowadays because of the advent of modern communications and information technologies. So we should all practice safe sex, live a healthy lifestyle, and know the symptoms and the possible treatment methods of every sexually-transmitted disease. Through this, we're one step ahead of dying unpurposefully.
