Mississippi is chlamydia and gonorrhea capital of the U.S. — while Nevada has the most syphilis cases per capita, official figures reveal.
Cases of common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) hit record highs across America during the first year of the pandemic, despite normal testing being interrupted by Covid.
The outbreak was biggest in the Magnolia state thanks to a stigma around getting tested for the diseases and admitting to an infection, an epidemiologist in its department of health told DailyMail.com.
They added that poor healthcare coverage — leading many to put off getting tested — and rising rates of drug abuse were also fueling infection levels.
In Nevada, STD prevention workers have blamed that state's growing hook-up culture leading to more anonymous sex via dating apps for higher rates of syphilis. More testing and less condom use were also considered to be attributing to the spread.
The figures for America’s 50 states come from the Center for Disease Control and Preventions (CDCs) annual surveillance report for 2020, the latest available.
Overall, cases of the three STDs detected dropped slightly to 2.4 million in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the previous 12 months. But CDC officials warned this was likely due to a drop in testing, which had masked a real-terms rise in infections across the board.

“Mississippi? It’s the demographics. “
Some wag mentioned an old saying on how males of a particular species would copulate with most anything. In explaining how some otherwise grotesquely fugly females of that species somehow got pregnant.
I believe that it should be called Dial a Date with a Ho.
Growing hook up culture? Only for money.
The benefits of being socially awkward and a bit of a hypochondriac. No social diseases. I once read that 1 in 4 sexually active adults have genital herpes. Man that creeps me out.
I guess we can’t call it Mississyphillis.
Careful there.. have you considered how many fugly, non-English speaking beached whales we have around here (that are popping out baby whales left and right)?
