They said 1.6 million people become infected with genital herpes every year. "In the United States alone, 22 percent of the population is infected with HSV-2 (which causes genital herpes).

.........oh man! Some crazy numbers here. I'm just so upset that a lot of people are not aware of this and that they don't even care about it. It's some serious shit, let me tell you. Everyone should get tested and everyone should use protection! Its very important to be safe then sorry. I know a friend of mine that is going through this, and let me tell you, IT SUCKS! and not only that, now he gave it to his girl also, cause he thought he was invincible. Poor girl, she's ruined now (depressed).. Anyway, I just want to know everyone's opinion on this subject and what are your thoughts! thanks.... and rememberrrr to peeeeeeeeeek peek peek living a birds LIFE!!! peek peek......

this is just the stupid ignorance that if you have sex, youll never get anything.

the statistic for herpes is usually that 1 out of 3 or 4 people will get it. but you want to talk about a high number? how about HPV (genital warts)... the statistic that exists about that (and i can find several) is that 75-80% of all sexually active people have it.. because you cant test for it, often you never get symptoms, and its spreadable even with a condom. its highest percentage of people are usually high school to college students i believe.

and thats not something that you say "ew gross" to.. its kind of a common thing now. and so many people have this attitude like "oh thats disgusting.. ill never catch anything"... and yea. like i said, thats just ignorance.

So what ? Do we all have to stop having sex ?
Yes, it's a prob, and a huge one but blamin ppl just for havin spontaneous even if superficially reactions doesn't solve the prob ...
I agree that ppl convinced to be immune to that sorta things are the main infections vehicle.
Imho i think a huge informative campaign should be done startin from primary schools.
But that's just my 2 cents ... as always
