Sexually-transmitted diseases continue to hit all-time highs in the U.S. with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reporting a 10 percent spike for chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis in 2017. The federal health agency said in a report released Tuesday that the numbers, which include nearly 2.3 million new cases of the aforementioned diseases, reflect a “steep, sustained increase” in STDs since 2013.
“We’re sliding backward,” Jonathan Mermin, director of CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention, said. “It is evident the systems that identify, treat and ultimately prevent STDs are strained to near-breaking point.”
While primary and secondary syphilis diagnoses went up by 76 percent, chlamydia remained the most commonly reported to the CDC with nearly half of the new cases occurring in females ages 15-to-24.
The three highlighted diseases are treatable, but the report said most go undiagnosed, which can lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth and an increased HIV risk. The report noted that previous studies have pointed to poverty, stigma, discrimination and drug use as contributing factors.

I married a lady from outside our country.
She is now a proud US citizen and as conservative as I am.
“I married a lady from outside our country...She is now a proud US citizen and as conservative as I am.”
Nice! Similar for me, although my wife was actually more conservative than myself (took a while to get her to FR-level). And that’s what today’s rabid Feminists DO NOT take into account. Us guys have OPTIONS, where we can marry someone:
1) Who appreciates real men (as opposed to Metrosexuals).
2) Who is happy to stay home and raise kick-ass kids.
3) Who does not look at American men as cash-cows, to be wrung-dry in divorce proceedings at the first sign of perceived ‘issues’.
We RESPONDED, given the deck we were dealt. I do feel sorry for American woman who are not part of the man-hating crowd, but perhaps, in another life, they’ll STICK UP FOR US, rather than sit by and let this crap happen.
When you have sex with a skank, you have proxy sex with everyone she/he has had sex with.
