Oh That's Just Wonderful.

AP:

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 study doesn't break it down by borough -- I assume Shaolin is off-the-charts skeezy while Brooklyn is clean as a whistle -- but does note that "
the rate is higher among women than men (36% versus 19%)."

Whoa.
