you can get it if you want it up in NYC..
part of the story:
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.

FishInABox:i personally find it crazy that 1 in 5 adults has herpes in general.
yeah, i dont know if thats kind of skewed though, because herpes spans such a wide variety of viruses. I mean you have to remember that the herpes family includes chicken pox and shingles. they may not be counting that, though. The really fun thing is that a high percentage of those 1 in 5 will never exhibit symptoms. they just distribute. -
