Good God: 1 in 4 adults in NYC have herpes virus
By: Pam On: Jun/9/08 - 4 Comments
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.
The health department urges consistent use of condoms, and says its STD clinics offer free, confidential herpes testing.

Lord help, sure hope Uncle Wright doesn’t preach a sermon on that, saying the US Gov. gave the New Yorkers herpes virus so it drift over to the south side of Chicago killing the Trinity Church members that have the virus already.
(4 out of 4) They don’t believe in condoms. Heaven help us, to have to listen that ranting racist devil or fiendish father flaky fag go on and on crying a river over that filth.
Now that Hillary has joined up with the Obama traitor team of America plus kissing up elitist @$$, who are they going to blame??? Oh they will find some poor unsuspecting ignorant ‘whitey scape goat’ to curse in church and curse the name of God along with it, because God loves whites as well. That is a NO NO NO! People.

Thanks, Idiot. How about reading the article next time. They have a virus that causes Herpes. Any idea what the national average is? Didn’t think so.
I’m not going to waste my cyber pen educating someone like yourself what contributions the city of New York has made to this country. Suffice it to say, no one on this site has the ordacity to trash someone’s hometown and I hope you are the uneducated exception.

I wrote that, as I do some other things as tongue-in-cheek, The fact of the matter is that if the article had said “One in four adults in Chicago have Herpes” I would have wrote the same thing, and until recently I had lived my entire life in Chicago.
Most everyone who has responded to things I have written realized it was in humor. Such as my Monica says of Clinton “No big thing” remark sometiiime ago.
I’m glad to say I no longer live in Chi-town which is a meer shadow of what it used to be. The once proud Greater Chicago area now gives the USA things like Hillary, Obama, Durbin, little Dickie-Daley.
I guess its just that you New Yorkers take yourselves just to serious. The rest of the country does’nt.
