Herpes in America

How common is HIV/AIDS/Herpes in America?
Just wondering. I am always going to use protection obviously, but I am still scared that one time the condom might rip and then I am screwed. Does anyone know the percentage of AIDS/HIV or even Herpes in America? Even better, does anyone know the percentage of AIDS/HIV/Herpes in American GIRLS, because that would really be the only source I would get it from (I'm straight). I would just like to stay informed.

Good for you that you plan to always use condoms. HSV-2 is not uncommon, it is estimated about 20% of the adult pop. is infected, not sure how that breaks down by gender. Hiv prevalence in US females is about one-tenth of one percent with black and hispanic females being more heavily affected. Just use condoms consistently with any new partners and you will be fine.
