About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick.

you are assuming those two statistics are mutually exclusive. They aren't. About 10% of people who have HSV1 also have HSV2. Not because they were irresponsible, or didn't care, or because one "mutated into the other" (impossible), but because these things happen. They might be similar, but they are two different viruses. and we can all have more than one at a time.
Most people would be devastated to know if they've ever had a wart on their finger and later tested for HPV (genital warts) it would come back positive. instantly making them think they have warts down there. Get real.
