Mississippi is the nation’s chlamydia and gonorrhea capital — while Nevada has the most syphilis cases per capita, official figures reveal

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.

No surprises. MS has the highest percentage of ferals among all states at 39%. Stand outside any NV casino-hotel at 6am and watch the ‘tutes streaming out to be picked up by their pimps or taking Ubers/taxis.

And guess who’s getting 90% of it

The trend line is uncanny in its timing. The current uptick in rates of these STDs really started going through the stratosphere in 2015. Think what happened about the middle of that year.
