It would be interesting to see how many republicans have an STD compared to democrats considering that STD's are most transmitted among:

single women blacks people 24 and young homosexuals

1/3 of the country suffers from STDs and we wonder why our leadership is OK with perversion.

[Fido969]

They took an “average sample” in San Francisco.

Either way, it’s pretty icky to realize how many diseased folk are roaming about freely. *SHUDDER*

[Slyfox]

Sounds like public school sex education is a rounding success.

Thank you Planned Parenthood and SEICUS.

[ConjunctionJunction]

I guess it’s possible that approximately half the population of the U.S. has an STD. However, I think it’s more likely that fewer people have more than one STD, and they’re counting those people more than once.

Another distraction from ebola by the CDC.

It’s “Free Love” but the antibiotics cost a little more.

If you’ve ever had a cold sore, count yourself as one.

[RetiredTexasVet]

One third of the population? Sounds like Climate Science or BLS quality statistics. Probably went to a couple of queer bars in SF, DC & NYC and extrapolated the results.

Here’s something I looked up on my own.

The county in Florida with the lowest rate of STD’s is Charlotte, just 27% voted for Obama in 2012.

The county in Florida with the highest rate of STD’s is Gadsen and 70% voted for Obama. Gadsen’s STD rate is 7 X that as it is in Charlotte.

[TruthWillWin]

I don’t believe those numbers.

[Liberty Valance]

About 50.5 million current infections are in men while 59.5 million are in women, for a total of 110 million Americans with STDs at any given time.

Holy moly. I had no idea the numbers were so large. *spooky*

[abishai]

This number seems unbelievably high. It appears the article is counting CASES of STD’s, which means that one person could be infected with more than one case of STDs. Amirite?

[Iron Munro]

I give this statement Twelve Pinocchios

[Politicalkiddo]

Ew. Thanks, “sexual revolution”. It will continue to increase as we allow PP into Public Schools and Girl Scout meetings.

[Secret Agent Man]

well lots of people must keep getting them again and again. I’ve never had any. Will not ever get any, at least not through sex.

[RichInOC]

So the real threat to the USA just might really be the proliferation of skanks across the Fruited Plain.

Remind me to keep away from those people.

The estimated rate of new HIV infections for African American women was 20 times that of white women
