A lot of people who have herpes, especially men, may only have a handful of active outbreaks their entire life. You're always contagious, just moreso during outbreaks.
One in sex people in the US have genital herpes, so if you've balled more than a few chicks, chances are you either have it or have been exposed. And I don't think that 1/6 of the population just turns celibate.
