Study: One-Fourth Of NYC Residents Have Herpes
NEW YORK (AP) ― A city Health Department study finds that more than a fourth of adult New Yorkers are infected with the virus that causes genital herpes.
The study, released Monday, says about 26 percent of New York City adults have genital herpes, compared to about 19 percent nationwide.
The department says genital herpes can double a person's risk for contracting HIV.
Herpes can cause painful sores, but most people have no recognizable symptoms.
Among New Yorkers, the herpes rate is higher among women, black people and gay men.
The health department urges consistent use of condoms, and says its STD clinics offer free, confidential herpes testing.

Are they just lumping all herpes viruses together, though? Do they mean JUST genital, or genital and oral? They're two different strains (although they can occasionally cross contaminate). I've gotten cold sores on my lip since i was TWO because of some thoughtless family member who kissed me as a baby and then said to my mom, "oh, maybe I shouldn't do that, I have a fever blister." I don't really consider myself having "herpes" lol. And I've yet to spread it to any other parts on me or anyone else.
As my uncle says: "If you can't get laid in New York City, you can't get laid anywhere."
This is probably true, though I don't live in NYC anymore, when I did I had my fair share of difficulty. I have kind of high standards though...though reading my female threads would make people think otherwise.

Hahaha a good friend of mine caught herpes because she was feeding some bread crumbs to pigeons with her mom when she was little and her mom thought it'd be hilarious to throw some bread crumbs on her daughter...
Pigeons aren't the most sanitary animals
