What? Really? I think I don’t have

Depending on where you live, anywhere between 50-90% have it. Almost feels like mostly only young people and virgins don't have it.

There was also statistics that showed 90% of the people who have herpes were not aware they have herpes.

It’s a long way to go just to have herpes. I’ve been, and it’s lovely, but can I just herpes from home?
