UPDATE: The Stats are from 2018 with the exception of the one stat referenced from 2003.

I wondered what was up with all of these chicks making videos trying to normalize their herpes, so I decided to google some stats.

I'm either going to start triple wrapping, or become a monk.
Further supports my theory that women sleep around far more than their husbands/boyfriends think.

Herpes Statistics in Specific Populations
Genital herpes affects more Black than White Americans: 39.2% of the overall Black population, with 48% of Black women affected. (10)
The largest increasing population is White teenagers. (11)
One in four American teenagers has an STD.
50-75% of unmarried American women between 45 and 50 have genital herpes. (12)
Globally, an estimated 417 million people are infected with HSV-2. (13)
Overall lifetime genital herpes occurrence rates are 25% among white women, 20% among white men, 80% among Black women and 60% among Black men according to 2003 data (14).
Men who have sex with men are also at a higher risk.

I need to tell my wife I am sorry and rub her feet tonight. That’s a scary number for single men.

I was talking with a female co-worker who is about 15 years younger and the topic of STDs came up. She said that herpes is not a deal breaker for most people now and its more accepted now to be herp positive. WTF? At least with the Clap you can get a shot and it goes away.
Damn, times have changed.

On a side note, I think the coworker was telling me she was DTF and that she had the herp. I'm too old for this shite.

I find that so hard to believe.

Maybe it’s just me and the group of friends I have but I’m 29 and going through high school and college at state I never once heard of anyone having herpes or an STD.

Now I am sure there were some and obviously that’s not something you broadcast to people but I would think it would have gotten out at some point.

Doesn't surprise me. Dating culture is completely different than even 7-8 years ago with the apps taking over.

If I ever find myself single I think I’m just jumping on the sex robot bandwagon.

Gotta go make a note to give my wife a big hug when she gets in.

Who the frick would talk about it? I only heard about girls having it twice. Both times it was because we were on the verge of banging and they were giving me the heads up that I should nope out or take my chances.

Supposed data is from 20 years ago. Not sure how that fits into your lack of suprise

So herpes is racist, sexist, and homophobic? Wow. What a hateful disease.
