Sexually Transmitted Infections Reach Record High for 6th Year in a Row
POZ ^ | April 30, 2021 | Liz Highleyman

New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that reported annual cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States continued to rise in 2019, reaching an all-time high for the sixth year in a row. Gay and bisexual men, African-American people and young people had disproportionately high rates. And the latest figures don’t reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the CDC’s Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2019, the federal agency received more than 2.5 million reports of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis, the three most common notifiable STIs (also know as sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs). This represents a nearly 30% increase since 2015.

Chlamydia - 1.8 million cases, up 19% from 2015
Gonorrhea - 616,392 cases, up 56% from 2015
Syphilis - 129,813 cases, up 74% from 2015
Congenital syphilis - 1,870 cases, up 279% from 2015

2015. Hmmm, what happened in 2015? Could it have been the ultimate affirmation of sexual deviancy by awarding “marriage” status to the ones most responsible for these incredible increases?

“What’s more, in over half of the cases, gonorrhea was resistant to at least one antibiotic.”

How sad for those poor victims! I blame middle-aged white heterosexual men for this whole thing! [/s]

Black people were five to eight times more likely; American Indians, Alaska Natives and Pacific Islanders were three to five times more likely; and Latinos were up to twice as likely as non-Hispanic white people to be diagnosed with STDs in 2019, according to the CDC.

Wait, this is racist, stop all testing !

Will somebody please cure herpes simplex 1 & 2. Especially 2.

https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2020/08/herpes-simplex-gene-therapy.html

If this guy and his team figure this out, he will be a hero to everyone that got herpes from someone who had it but decided to give it to someone without telling them and ruin their lives.

“2015. Hmmm, what happened in 2015? “

There are drugs like Truvada and Descovy being advertised as a way for Gay men to have sex without getting HIV. This might be the reason for seeing a increase in Gay Sexually transmitted infections.

Penicillin is becoming less effective on many strains of sexual diseases.

The CDC is often forced to publish the truth in the face of risking the harm of many people. But that doesn’t keep them from spinning the reasons for disease proliferation. Notice that personal responsibility is completely discounted, and a lack of “access to adequate health care” is blamed for these disease increases. We can read between the lines, though.

What’s a non-notifiable disease?

Is that one, they won’t tell you about if you have it?

The article is reminiscent of articles noting a spike in births 9 months after the north east black out

When you can’t leave home? what do you do?

When the infected die with COVID, you can bet that the deaths will be classified as part of some “spike” or “surge” in shamdemic.
