About 16 percent of Americans between the ages of 14 and 49 are infected with genital herpes, making it one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, U.S. health officials said on Tuesday.

Black women had the highest rate of infection at 48 percent and women were nearly twice likely as men to be infected, according to an analysis by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

About 21 percent of women were infected with genital herpes, compared to only 11.5 percent of men, while 39 percent of blacks were infected compared to about 12 percent for whites, the CDC said.

Ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!
 
1 in 6. Back in 1997 someone told me the statistic was 1 in 4. Leads me to believe that there's a TON of people in their 50s with herpes.
 
note to self: quit having random sex with random people at random times.
 
Would like to see how they got those numbers since that seems extremely high for black women. It says nearly 1 in 2 are infected, but that among all groups 80% do not know they are infected.
 
Only 1 in 6? Man, I need to hang out with a much better class of people.
 
But I have so much else
 
to give.
 
I'm willing to bet that Oden is one of the six.

Back in the fall of '91 my balls itched the morning after I hooked up with this chic, but that's the closest I think I've come to herpes.

I'm sure we all want to know the answer to this question, so I'm going to ask it.

Did your cousin have herpes?

You joke, but I have actually made out with one of my cousins.

Didn't in a previous thread you once said "I joke about making out with family, but you took it one step further and actually did it!"?
 
She's hot and I was 16..... and drunk!
