Study: 1 in 4 adults in NYC have herpes virus
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.
The health department urges consistent use of condoms, and says its STD clinics offer free, confidential herpes testing.

first
And you consider this celebrity gossip?
You suck, Perez!!!
By the herpes virus they mean that it include the herpes simplex virus- which is bascially a mouth coldsore.
1 in 4 does not have GENITAL herpes.
Ewwwwww!!!!
Sluts Whores!
hahahahaha Vanessa….luv ya perez♥
they are sluts
That is f-ing sick. Dirty!!!!!
You can have herpes type 1 transmitted from kissing to oral. You can have herpes type 1 as a child and not know it and get it from your first partner. Being "slutty" has nothing to do with it and you of all people shouldn't talk Perez -_-
I know a guy that has it and doesn't tell the women he's with because the person that gave it to him didn't tell him. He considers it payback. He even gave it to his wife without her knowing he had it. He took her right to protect herself!!!

SAVANNAH HAS HERPES
i would like to share that as a nurse i have seen cases where women contracted this disease from their partners going to their nether regions with a cold sore on their mouths. i cannot stress how important it is not to have oral relations if you or your partner has a cold sore on your mouth of any kind. what is even sadder to me is that the people suffering from the virus are mostly young teenage girls. be safe!
this is so lame. herpes is such a widespread virus and people turn their noses down and make fun of it. sorry but chances are those who make fun of it are very well carriers of the virus.
you are SO gonna get in trouble for this..
Haha! Nice!
Perez Hilton may have made it to the top ten of the gossip heap with free publicity from lawsuits, and free appearances on radio and TV shows, but in real life no one cares about him.
Last evening Perez held a meet-and-greet at Hot Topic in Hollywood where he was launching his cheap ass clothing line, and NO ONE SHOWED UP!!! HAHAHAH!!!!!!!
A witness who goes by the name Ester said:
"Some freaky lil employee with a handful of wrist bands asked if I wanted to meet Perez Hilton at 6pm! I was like NO, I just ate. NO one wanted wrist bans it was kinda funny."
Besides the embarrassment of having no "real life" fans outside the cyberworld, who launches a clothing line at Hot Topic? That’s trashier than launching a clothing line at Walmart, and yet Perez couldn’t even pull that off. WOW! That’s gotta be a blow to his HUGE ego.
Cheap wasn’t cheap enough for Perez fans. He is the Queen of white trash, and they’re broke.
..then why are you showing this creature?

I LOVE BEYONCE, TE KEREMOS PEREA DESDE ESPAÑA
Then why put her picture up there with that heading? Unacceptable.
I believe that statistic is for the general population: 1 in four people have genital herpes. That means that many people who have responded to this post have it. Maybe they don;t know it yet, or maybe they just aren't sayin'.
Thank god I'm moving from NYC to LA this summer!!
but…
i'll be moving back to NYC in 3years…
Monday's news. And 1 out of 5 have it everywhere else, so who cares?
LAMP ZEE HAS HERPES!!!!!!!
Re: Kryst –
That's true. Not fair to call people sluts for it.
this is old news Perez. get on top of your shit
If you are talking about the HPV-virus (humane papilloma virus) thats the most common STD yo can get. About 80% of the population have it and the most dangerous is the kind that doenst give you outbreaks (not the same as herpes here) because it can cause cervix cancer. Its pretty harmless actually (Ive been infected by it and pretty much know what Im talking about) and is easily treated.
PLEASE BRING BRITNEY BACK…. this shit is so boring Perez
So…..Among New Yorkers, the herpes rate is higher among women, black people and gay men?
I guess that just leaves the white guys?
btw, you can contract it even if you use a condom.
The Vanessa Minillo disclaimer is funny!
Perez has anal warts.
perez, just watched your drugs drugs drugs video and though the dance may have scared me a little, i must say, you look fabulous!!! you've lost a ton of weight and look incredible! congrats on all your success and i wish you all the best,
Chelsea
Re: Kryst – 80-90% of the population has the virus that causes cold sores (HSV-1). this statistic for genital herpes is quite true. Don't be so relaxed about it, as to think it isn't true.
so gross then they go out like there all fine……plus if vanessa m. had herpes i wouldnt want to go to that lipgloss store
Re: GG SU – Yeah…..I got them from your mother!!
Asshole!
is that micha form the o.c in that back?
lol
Do people actually like this douche bag? Her face bugs me…she seems phoney.
And they talk about the uneducated South- gross people running around with oozing coochies. Dirty very dirty
from my momma
I have it. And lemme tell you how my bf at the time had cold sores and never told me he had them, nor did he have any symptoms showing (so yes, you can get it/pass it on when there are no cold sores).
Also, condoms wouldn't have protected me against that. He went down on me, and when I started to feel sore a few days/a week later, he surprised me and told me he had cold sores. Thanks ex-bf. That was 3 years ago, and thankfully, I haven't had an outbreak since I first got it. As far as I know, I haven't passed it on to anyone either (and yes I have told every single person I've slept with since)
Re: V.Man – ugh her face is just like mine…can someone go cut it off?
Re: Kryst – It actually does say "about 26 percent of New York City adults have genital herpes.
WHAT DOES VANESSA DO WITH THIS ARTICLE, HER RESUMIE SHOWS SHE HAS BEEN IN RELATIONSHIP AT MOST 2 TO 3 MEN IN HER ADULT YEARS. SHE IS A CALIFONIA GIRL SINCE SHE HOOCKED UP WITH NICK
Re: Shawn – wow shawn but sweety this isnt telling your personal stuff out its about 1 out of 4 people have it in nyc
of course she's slutty, she's half filipino. it just comes naturally to her.
Re: haha – WHATS WRONG WITH CALI GIRLS >:(
Re: Shawn – good job
BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT PARIS HILTON HAS HERPES!!!!!!
Yummmm!
I have a ton of friends who live in NY and I know for fact that NONE of them have herpes! This is bullshit
Putting Vanessa's face here is pretty low. You should substitute your own, Perez.
why do you have to put her picture with this headline? lame.
what,
no comment about mischa barton in the background?!?!
Re: um. –
Well I'm telling my story to put into perspective how easily you can contract it. So before anyone labels someone as a slut, as Perez has done…. know the facts. That's part of the problem… it continues to spread cuz people don't know the facts. My bf was a retard and thought that he could only pass on another cold sore (still, he didn't tell me). I knew otherwise, I knew that if someone had a cold sore and went down on someone, then you could get herpes. What I didn't know however, was that he even had them to begin with.
GEORGE HARTPENCE FROM RINGGOLD GEORGIA HAS THEM AND WON'T TELL YOU.
DON'T DATE HIM IF YOU KNOW HIM OR EVER MEET HIM IN THE FUTURE!!!!
fuck you perez and fuck the rest of you insensitive ass holes as well. do you ever consider the people who aren't "sluts" who end up with herpes? like the people who date (and have sex with) the same person for over a year, only to have him cheat and pass on a disease he picked up from some skanky girl….oh and unless you have no friends at all it's pretty much guaranteed that a friend of yours has herpes too. so once again fuck you all. i hope someone you care about gives you a disease so you can see how it feels to be labeled a dirty slut even when you haven't been promiscuous…… ass clowns…
80-90% have HSV-1, which causes cold sores on your mouth and about 25% have HSV-2 which is genital herpes. Not everyone infected gets symptoms
Re: mel b –
That includes herpes simples also known as cold sores you uneducated douche. You dont do a lot to make souther people not seem as dumb as they say…
Seriously funny…..your little note.. hahaha
1 in 4 women and 1 in 5 adults have Genital Herpes. That's nationwide not just New York. Oral herpes or "cold sores' can be transfered to the Genitals from oral sex. 80% of the population has oral herpes. 98% of people with herpes don't know they have it. You have to request a blood test for Herpes. And what cryst says is true, some of the people making fun are carriers and spreading it themselves.
Re: Kryst – No Kris they mean genital herpes. Almost ALL American have cold sores or Herpes type 1 virus. about 20% of ALL American have type 2 which is genital herpes. You kids need to understand that this is very serious and understand the consequences of having sex. Also understand that herpes (both types) can be passed to the other place i.e. oral to genital and genital to oral. Do some research before you summit ignorant comments!!
ewwww that's what you get for being sluts.
Re: lol – You are probably one of the judgemental a-holes you is a carrier and doesn't know it.
Re: Me – I meant to say 1 in 5 men, not 1 in 5 adults.
Normally I don't comment on things Perez says. However the comment "sluts" in regards to the number of people with herpes bothers me. I have only been with my husband and he has never shown any signs of herpes, however, somehow I ended up with it. He has had several parters, so I guess if anyone he would be the slut. But none of his partners as far as he is aware have ever had any signs either. and even as the article states, many people don't realize they have it.
And really, herpes is the same virus that causes cold sores on your lips. so you have cold sores on your no no bits. annoying and painful yes, but not restricted to "sluts."
Perez, it's pretty insensitive to call what looks like 80-90% of the us population sluts when YOU PROBABLY HAVE HERPES TOO. Fuck tard.
OoooH, you know you are gonna get in trouble for that Vanessa Minnillo comment… Still it was freakin hillarious!
I contracted it from some that did not tell me, my bf and i were broken up he left me for someone and came back to me, i didn't knoe i had it and gave it to him. we are still 2 gether but a major strain on our relationship!! neith of us will admit who gave it to who! Find a cure Please HELP
you don't have to be a slut to get it. i know ppl who have only been with two ppl and got it…it's just bad luck!
Slutty New Yorkers. Keep that bumpy shit to yourselves!!!
Just…ewww.
Gross! Herpes is disgusting. People need to 'wrap it up' and/or quit sleeping around/exchanging bodily fluid with anyone who fits their horny bill for the night.
…am i the only one who thinks the chick in the backround looks like Mischa Barton in 15 years? LOLOL
WHY HER PIC?
You as**ole Perez. I have put up with your ignorant comments for as long as I can. Herpes, whether genital or oral does not make one a slut. That's as blatant as saying everyone with AIDS is a gay. So f**k you. It's been nice knowing your site, but you have now crossed a line IMO and I just can't do it anymore.
Re: stace –
Herpes is spread by skin to skin contact not bodily fluids, and you can still get it if you use condoms.
Vanessa is so FUGLY; I don't know how the hell she got Nick.
First
lost of ppl have herpes……..the coldsore!!!!
Perez;
You know. I really liked you. I didn't always agree with everything you said… sometimes I thought you were a bit harsh, but I always found your blog very entertaining. But I think what you've said here is cruel. A lot of people suffer from this virus, and not for being slutty. Just for enjoying what we all like to enjoy, being intimate with someone we love. As someone said earlier, your comments are akin to someone thinking that all gay people have aids. You are perpetuating the stigma for people that are trying to break free from it. I wish you could see how much what you have written hurts many people. I wish you would apologize for it. But I know you probably wont retract your statements. It's too bad. I thought, perhaps aside from all the dirty dishing on celebs, that you were probably a decent human being. But now I think you are cruel and mean spirited. I can only hope one day that you will understand how wrong you've been with this.
CAN YOU GET IT FROM SHARING LIP STICKS/GLOS???!?!?!?
Thanks for adding to the stigma's attached to Sti's and STD's Perez - how very open minded of you…Seriously - adding things like "sluts and whores" to stuff like this doesn't help! Why do you think people don't tell their partners when they have something - cos of people like YOU making out that to catch stuff like you, you must be someone who's sleep around without any self respect!
YOU probably have both HPV and Herpes virus in your system and dont even know it, not because you are a whore or a slut, but because there are millions of strains of it, and most humans - unless brought up in a bubble, have it lying dormant in their system.
Just watch your comments - one's like this just show how closed minded or ignorant you can be.
Never commented on one of these before, but I have to say…P I adore your site and honestly addicted, but as a person with herpes, a little pissed off at the ignorance! NOT all who have it are or ever have been SLUTS!!! Its people like you who tag the disease with the taboo and shame. You do know that there are people out there who still think homosexuality is a disease and that idea, I know, is pure ignorance. Watch what you say!!!
you can have herpes- not know it (because you have no symptoms)… and can still be shedding the virus and infect another person
Perez, I find it very upsetting and annoying that you seem to think that people with herpes are sluts - My ex gave me herpes after he cheated on me and didn't tell me - he was only the 2nd guy I slept with.
Fucking grow up - I come to this site for celebrity gossip not to here about facts that probably include yourself - after all the stats did include "gay men" not just straight women
I think you should put a public apology on your site for this - fuck you made me so angry for those comments
Hahaha! Love that you posted Vanessa's picture with this article!!!
Ohhh… I "smell a lawsuit," Mario
RE: WAT
Yes, you can transmit Herpes Simplex via lipsticks and lip-glosses. If the infected cells on the makeup contain Herpes Simplex #1, that is what you will catch. If the cell contain Herpes Simplex #2, then you'll catch that one.
You never even have to see a sore to have Herpes. You can carry the virus (and pass it on) without even knowing.
Don't try on make-up at places like Sephora unless you cut off HALF of the lipstick and then wipe it down with alcohol and a tissue. Never even TOUCH the sample glosses.
Don't try on make-up for the face, either (such as blush or powders). You may catch Herpes Zoster (shingles) from those products.
ITS FUCKING COLDSORES PEOPLE!!! A VERY COMMON SKIN DISEASE!! MAYBE IF YOU AMERICANS GOT A FUCKING EDUCATION BEFORE YOU MADE ASSUMPTIONS THEN YOU WOULDNT BE THE TOLIET BOWEL OF A HATED COUNTRY AS YOU ARE TODAY!!! FUCK U PEREZ U CELIBATE NASTY OOMPA LOOMPA
