Beyonce Just Doesn't Look That Attractive Anymore

1 in 6 Americans infected with herpes
Black women had the highest rate of infection at 48 percent
Giving added meaning to the term 'Jungle Fever'.

Based on the commercials I've seen, herpes pretty much involves a lot of horseback riding, kayaking, and a bevy of attractive partners. Did I miss something?

(Seriously, though...48%!?? Yikes!)

In general it's easier for women to contract STDs, and I think it means 48% who are between the ages of 14 and 49. (Which is still a lot of women.)

I'm mad they don't tell me how big the sample size was for this data. Or the +/- on the numbers.

Or give any explanation to why the rate is higher in the black community, only the implications that black people are more likely to carry herpes.
