Read the first bullet point:

"Worldwide 1 in 7 to 1 in 5 people have been exposed to and infected by genital herpes simplex virus (HSV)."

So between 15-20% of the world is infected. Only 20% of those actually know that they have it. 3-4% of the world population is CONFIRMED to have herpes.

I repeat: Eeeewwww!!!!!

Wrap that Rascal indeed!
