• 32. Scientists from around the globe, have traced the origin of the ancient disease leprosy to East Africa, which spread to Asia and Europe, then into West Africa. HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, originated in non-human primates in sub-Saharan Africa and was transferred to humans during the late 19th or early 20th century. HIV-1 strains are thought to have arrived in the United States from Haiti in the late 1960s or early 1970s. HIV-1 is believed to have arrived in Haiti from central Africa.

• 34. I am a 30 year old african american female. I have had this monster since i was about 18 19 years old. I have had these ugly outbreaks on my mouth for as long as I can remember. I feel on top of the world when I don't have these outbreaks. Craziest part about it is I remember when I contracted this almost immediately after. My mouth felt funny and everything.But back then I didn't think anything of it. The monster has definetely changed over the years as far as outbreaks and locations. It seems it gets stronger and stay longer. I hate this so badly to the point were it sickens me.

• 36. I just found out I had herpes. I have not had unprotected sex in over a year. 1 in 5 people have herpes I have learned. I have never had an outbreak, but my blood work came back positive. To everyone out there, be CAREFUL. Get tested. STD checks do no check for herpes unless you specificly ask for it. I'm an attractive woman and I'm sure I could pull my pick of the litter. Don't let a pretty/handsom face fool you! Be safe! Be wise! I learned the hard way.

• 37. Source: Centers for Disease Contol and Prevention/US Department of Health and Human Services STDs Take Heaviest Toll on Racial Minorities, Especially Black Women CDC’s 2007 STD surveillance report also indicates ongoing racial disparities in the three most common reportable STDs, with African-Americans bearing the greatest burden. While representing 12 percent of the U.S. population, blacks had about 70 percent of reported gonorrhea cases and almost half of all chlamydia and syphilis cases (48 percent and 46 percent respectively) in 2007. STDs take an especially heavy toll on black women 15 to 19 years of age, who account for the highest rates of both chlamydia (9,646.7 per 100,000 population) and gonorrhea (2,955.7 per 100,000 population) of any group. Herpes, quickly growing in the population of Caucasian Americans, current infection rate is over 17 percent. Rate of infection in the population of African Americans is over 45 percent.

• 40. By the age of 5 years, more than 35% of African American children are infected with HSV-1 versus 18% of white children. Through adolescence, the prevalence of antibodies to HSV-1 in African Americans is approximately twice the rate among whites. The prevalence of HSV-2 antibodies among African Americans is 3-4 times higher than that among whites. The cumulative lifetime incidence of HSV-2 reaches 25% in white women, 20% in white men, 80% in African American women, and 60% in African American men. Studies have indicated that the seroprevalence of HSV-2 antibodies among Hispanics ranges from 26-36.3%.

• 42. This is why I refuse to leave the house when I break out in coldsores. I've had them since I was a child and they always pop out at the most inopportune moments. I'm terrified of what people will think, that I decided to give some guy with herpes oral sex or that I'm gross and disease infested. It really is embarrassing, and I wish people would be more understanding.

• 43. Some of them are not cold sores or herpes. Some of them are bad case of zits, sun blisters and possibly restylane allergy (Nicole Kidman and Courtney Love). Katie Holmes or Robbie Williams both looks like they had a bad day with zits around the lips. TMZ, leave them alone.
