Percentage of diagnosed herpes population with no synptoms

If asymptomatic ie-no rash,sores,etc. What percentage will eventually show symptomes?  Is there some percentage who will never have symptoms? If I have no symptoms and taking valtrex is there a % chance of never seeing any symptoms?

Only about 20% of folks are truly asymptomatic with hsv2 genital infections. Most folks who think they are, just don't know what to look for.

we don't have any info on if you take valtrex suppressively for the rest of your life if you'd ever get symptoms or not.
