    Study: One-Fourth Of NYC Residents Have Herpes
    Rates Of Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, And Infectious Syphilis Are Also Higher Than The National Average
    NEW YORK (CBS) ― Now might be the time for New Yorkers to take advantage of the free condom campaign the city promotes. A new study by the city's Health Department found more than a quarter of adult residents are infected with the herpes virus.

    According to the study, 26 percent of city residents have the virus that causes genital herpes, an incurable sexually-transmitted infection that can cause painful genital sores and can double a person's risk for HIV.

    Nationally, 19 percent of the population has the infection, according to the department.

    More specifically, the study showed that the rate is higher among women than men – 36 percent compared to 19 percent – and was higher among blacks than whites – 49 percent versus 14 percent, respectfully.

    It also found the rate was higher among gay men than heterosexual men – 32 percent compared to 18 percent.

    "Genital herpes alone will not cause serious problems for most people," said Dr. Julia Schillinger, Director of Surveillance for the Health Department's Bureau of STD Prevention and Control and lead author of the study. "But some people will have painful genital sores and the infection fosters the spread of HIV. We advise New Yorkers to protect themselves and others. Using condoms consistently will help you avoid getting or spreading genital herpes."

    The data come from the city's Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which used door-to-door interviews and in-person medical exams to assess the health of New Yorkers on a variety of measures, from diabetes to depression, according to the department.

    The study was the city's first measurement of those infected with the virus. Herpes is not the only STD above the national rate in New York City. Rates of Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and infectious syphilis were also higher than the national rate.

    Whats the point of a condom if there will still be contact on the pubes?
    would you get herpes if:
    - she just touched herself and gave you a handjob
    - you went down south on her
    - you touched her and wiped your mouth after using that hand

    So some say. There was a report a while back that she had gotten a prescription for Valtrex or some other herpes meds and that she had contracted itfrom Jeter. Some believe that the meds were to fight recurring cold sores which can be a strain of herpes that is not sexually transmitted.

    But I had the same reaction as you when I heard. I hate having to go get tested.

    Nothing like explaining to the wife why she has to take antibiotics for your bladder infection.

    You want a real shock, most of the population has been exposed to oral herpes:

    "Around 90 per cent of adults have herpes simplex antibodies in their bloodstream, which means that they have been infected with the virus at some time. However, the first (or primary) infection does not usually cause any symptoms.

    One-third of infected people experience cold sores, which are a recurrence of the earlier infection and do not indicate recent infection. Most of these people would not have experienced symptoms from the first infection."

    http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/b...s?opendo ent

    So, 9/10 people contract herpes simplex A, although only about 3/10 actually experience symptoms.

    This is not uncommon with STDs either - there are lots of infected people who don't show any symptoms.

    Be afraid, be very afraid... or find a clean, trustworthy person and stick to them!
