Statistics by Country for Genital herpes
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Genital herpes:
These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates
against the populations of a particular country or region.
The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Genital herpes are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian statistics.
This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences
across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Genital herpes statistics below refer to.
As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication)
as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Genital herpes in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Genital herpes: The word 'prevalence' of Genital herpes usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Genital herpes at any given time (i.e. people with Genital herpes). The term 'incidence' of Genital herpes means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Genital herpes diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Genital herpes). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics. |
Prevalance of Genital herpes: 67 million people (NIAID)
Prevalance Rate for Genital herpes: approx 1 in 4 or 24.63% or 67 million people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Genital herpes to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Genital herpes to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Genital herpes are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Genital herpes in any region:
