Question

One in 5 people have herpes? That can't be right. Do they mean "in the trailer park"?

Answer 1

It actually is right.  If anything, more people than that have it.  Virtually everyone has the oral version, and tons of people have the genital version (hsv1 and hsv2...   even though you can get both anywhere on the body, they are actually 2 seperate viruses that are almost identical).

What do you mean, in the trailer park?  Do you know the highest precentage of swingers and open marriages are the upper class?  Take a look around you, open your eyes.

Answer 2

See, this is why I must remain married.  I could never get back into the dating scene.  It's just too d**n scary!  

Answer 3

Honey, the sad thing is about your question your not educated. I don't mean to sound like Im putting you down...There are doctors, lawyers if not Presidents that carry this virus..It comes in many forms from a plantars wart, to a cold sore on your lip, gential herpes etc....

Answer 4

Statistically, the trailer park people tend to stick to the more traditional clap. It's the preppy upper middle class types in whom herpes has a slight predilection. These are only minor trends, of course, but it's a good reminder to keep your bigotries in check.

Answer 5

Herpes has no special affinity for trailer parks. For swingers and polyamorists, maybe.

Answer 6

I work in a pharmacy. And I can honestly say that a lot of people have herpes. And remember that there are different types of herpes. And it is a very common STD.

Answer 7

I know you asked this question in this manner to test reactions so I know you weren't serious. You know as well as I, or most people, that not all people who live in trailer parks run around having unprotected s*x with multiple partners. There are probably just as many people who live in apartments, houses, and condos, luxury or not, who have the kind of lifestyle that would lead to them getting herpes and other STD's.  

I am so glad that I have the kind of husband I do and that neither of us has to worry about that.

Answer 8

Nope...I know many ppl that have it (these are just the ones who actually told me). These are very attractive, educated ppl as well.  I'm not one, i'm a virgin, but yeah..i would think its more then 1 in 5.

One gal only had s*x with one guy in her life, she is in her mid 20s, one bf of 4 yrs and she came to find out she got it from him. she was devastated. they arent even together anymore. It sure wasnt worth it!

Answer 9

Do you know how many people have frequent, unprotected s*x with multiple partners? Right there is your answer. People nowadays don't care who they have s*x with, so that's why STDs are so common. I hope that statistic does shock people. Maybe it will stop them from having casual s*x, or at the very least, use some sort of protection.

Answer 10

Nope - they mean "including that girl you had s*x with whose name you never bothered learning." And they mean "including that preppy looking guy with the g*y popped collar on his polo shirt."

Promiscuity and unprotected s*x certainly aren't limited to the trailer park.
