CDC report card shows a rise in STDs across the nation, especially in men

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – This year’s STD report card from the Centers for Disease Control is in, and it doesn’t bring good news. The number of cases of syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea are up. Reported cases of three STDs, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, have increased for the first time since 2006. The report found that the highest proportion of chlamydia and gonorrhea cases were in people between 15 and 29 years of age. Most syphilis cases were in people 20 to 29 years old. Here in Erie County, Health Commissioner Gail Burstein says the scariest jump is in cases of syphilis. She says this is seen primarily in cases of men having sex with men. Burstein calls syphilis a “gateway infection” where men are then more likely to develop other, more harmful STDs.

She said, “Unfortunately there is very high prevalence rates of syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia, and HIV in the sexual networks where men who have sex with men find their partners. So it’s actually becoming a public health crisis.”

I don't see it that way. I don't see it as a "public" crisis. I see it as a problem for those promiscuous people in the tiny 1.8% of the male population who practice this perversion.

No matter. We can continue to mainstream this mental illness.

Burstein says of course condoms are the best way to protect against infections.

No, the best way to protect yourself is to behave yourself.

[shrug] Not everyone. Not me.

And not a whole lot of women because the statistics say it’s a problem for homosexual men. The statistics do not indicate “and the many women with whom the homosexual men have sex”.

There are plenty of *bisexual* men who regularly have sex with both. Since they interact with the gay community, it spreads the disease from gays to straights. No such thing as a “gay disease”.

I’m sure lots of the diseases you find in women came from gay bars. These guys just typically dont tell the women about having sex with men because men that appear straight are more attractive to females.

You mean to tell me that promiscuous butt sex between men has something to do with increases in diseases? How is this possible!?!

The linked article is just reworked from this CDC press release from 11-17:

http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/2015/std-surveillance-report-press-release.html

From the CDC document:

In 2014, rates of P&S syphilis increased among MSM, who account for 83 percent of reported cases among men when the sex of the partner is known.

P&S=Primary and secondary
MSM=Men who have sex with men

In other words, this is overwhelmingly a problem associated with homosexual men, not just "men."

The huge difference between the infection numbers for homosexual men and straight men (and women) is shown in a politically incorrect chart in this fact sheet: http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/docs/factsheets/std-trends-508.pdf

Unfortunately I can't hotlink the chart.

"The estimated rate of new HIV infections for African American women (38.1/100,000 population)
was 20 times that of white women and almost 5 times that of Hispanic/Latino women.
