Sexually transmitted infections are becoming more common in older adults.

Rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis in people ages 55 and up more than doubled in the U.S. over the 10-year period from 2012 to 2022, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The number of syphilis cases among people ages 55 and up increased seven-fold during those 10 years, while gonorrhea cases increased nearly five-fold and chlamydia cases more than tripled during that time.

They break everything down by “disparate impact” based on race these days, but they wouldn’t dare “disparate impact” STDs because it brings up a whole bunch of other issues of personal responsibility.

He was molested while not in his right mind (all the time) and became syphilitic, or he’s not in his right mind because he’s syphilitic?

Well, I guess so when one of our major political parties encourages deviant sexual behavior.

It’s my understanding that some of the old guys in the retirement homes will go out and consort with a hooker, acquire one of these lovely social diseases, and then go back to the home and consort with the ladies there, most of whom lost their husbands and are desperate for a man, who are in the minority and thus much sought after in these places.

I think the human race is insane generally but I think these particular studies are misleading...

plain old Americans age 55 and above are probably not the ones raising the rates of STDs....

I got a feeling its sub groups and illegals....

we got rid of many diseases over the decades and TPTB just had to reintroduce them all again thru the illegals..

that and the increasing immorality of our citizens....

Do they account for an aging oversexed population? In ten years will there be a huge increase of STI in the 65 and older crowd? Oh wait! We don’t have 10 years left to hear about it. /s

The rule these days is that STD rates are driven by MSM — men who have sex with men. Does that apply to the elderly?

I remember reading a few years back that STD rates were exploding in "retirement communities."

How does this even happen??? The CDC is stumped. I tell you what. For a 2 million dollar grant, I’ll go down to the local senior center and find out what’s going on and report back. A little undercover work . . if you know what I mean.
