'Out of control' STD situation prompts call for changes

NEW YORK (AP) — Sharply rising cases of some sexually transmitted diseases — including a 26% rise in new syphilis infections reported last year — are prompting U.S. health officials to call for new prevention and treatment efforts.

“It is imperative that we ... work to rebuild, innovate, and expand (STD) prevention in the U.S.,” said Dr. Leandro Mena of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a speech Monday at a medical conference on sexually transmitted diseases.

Infections rates for some STDs, including gonorrhea and syphilis, have been rising for years. Last year the rate of syphilis cases reached its highest since 1991 and the total number of cases hit its highest since 1948. HIV cases are also on the rise, up 16% last year.

And an international outbreak of monkeypox, which is being spread mainly between men who have sex with other men, has further highlighted the nation's worsening problem with diseases spread mostly through sex.

David Harvey, executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors, called the situation “out of control.”

Officials are working on new approaches to the problem, such as home-test kits for some STDs that will make it easier for people to learn they are infected and to take steps to prevent spreading it to others, Mena said.

Another expert said a core part of any effort must work to increase the use of condoms.

We should try to figure out how these things are spread and do something about it on that end. You know, science.

Actually, the biggest increase is still in our nursing homes where unprotected sex flourishes.

No mention of affected populations, so it’s sodomites.

That’s there MO, pretend normal people need to be concerned.

Nope. Just perverts.

Yes, but you can find it yourself by searching. I do not spoon feed.

Impossible to accomplish when the new world order has been established with essential morals being prohibited and the indoctrination of K thru 12 students into depraved sexual lifestyles and the medical and scientific associations and communities outlawing studies, cures, treatments and publications based on amoral socio-political objectives.

“Actually, the biggest increase is still in our nursing homes where unprotected sex flourishes.”

_____________________________

What you mention is the increase in the rate of infections.
The highest numbers in cases overall are historically and still today concentrated among men who have sex with men, within and outside of the nursing homes as they’re ones who have the most unprotected sex and more of them have compromised immune systems due to HIV.

And, on the topic of compromised immune systems, we also need to keep in mind that these gene serums masquerading as COVID vaccines are shown to compromise the immune system, so we should be seeing increases in infections with STDs and many other diseases increase in sheer numbers from December of 2020 onward. And that also will be seen in the nursing homes and funeral homes.

One has to wonder whether or not these rises in STDs are predominantly in the male-on-male "sex" category. Those lads
are just like everyone else, doncha' know. /s
