America's STD explosion laid bare: As Houston records unprecedented rise in syphilis, DailyMail.com's interactive maps show how infections are soaring across the board

America is in the midst of an explosion of sexually transmitted diseases as these maps compiled by DailyMail.com using official data show.

Using the most up-to-date Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, they show how every state has seen a spike in cases of syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease that can lead to organ damage, and gonorrhea, an STD that can cause infertility, between 2017 and 2021.

Only chlamydia, the most common STD in the US, appeared to have infection rates plateau - but the suspicion is that fewer tests are being done.

Overall, infection rates of syphilis have surged 70 percent across the US since 2017. For gonorrhea, rates are up by 25 percent. Chlamydia infections have dropped by five percent in that time.

Experts warn the eruption of STDs in the US before and after the Covid pandemic - driven by riskier sexual behaviors and less condom use - sparked an 'out-of-control epidemic' that 'shows no signs of slowing'. This week, Houston declared a syphilis outbreak raising the alarm over cases after they jumped 128 percent from 2019.

After the all-time high in 2019, STD rates dropped during the pandemic, likely due to social distancing protocols aimed at stopping the spread of the virus and hospitals reducing their capacity. But the number of gonorrhea and syphilis cases are now ticking back up. About 2.5 million people were infected with an STD in 2021.

The president of the National Coalition of STD directors, Dr Anne Zink, raised the alarm over America's rising STD rates earlier this year.

'I am alarmed to see a rise in preventable syphilis and congenital syphilis cases in our nation,' she said.

'Syphilis - and especially congenital syphilis - is the canary in the coal mine for a devastating and out-of-control epidemic...

I think it is final destination for lots of them.

But a lot of Americans have the morals of domestic animals. I am not sure you can blame this on illegals.

The fact that this explosion of STDs coincides with the explosion of illegal aliens entering America is, I’m sure, just a coincidence. FJB and all the vermin who voted for this senile idiot.

Well. Mama was correct. Not being discriminating with whom you (ahem) sleep is a mistake

Indiscriminate sex is not a good thing

Biden’s millions of illegals, and their STDs are probably merging with the 20-30% left wing STD/maggot infected druggie democRats to create super STDs.

May they all then go get a lot of Covid vaccinations.

These days, STDs are driven by MSM, men who have sex with men.

Fai Mao is correct. Promiscuity is probably breaking all time records. No wonder the young want abortion on demand.

“STD has been on a large scale since Vietnam war ended.”

I think it escalated about 10-15 years after that. Then it seemed to taper off somewhat; but then came back with a vengeance within the last three or so years. Maybe it’s due to more people seeking treatment.

all infectious diseases will spread like wildfire with the illegals invading from the south. Is that also part of the Biden plan???
