I thought the same thing at first, but look closer - these are infections - people can have multiple types of STDs, and likely do. I want to know how many PEOPLE have STDs by age and race/ethnicity. I read somewhere that the old Boomers are getting STDs, too, at alarming rates. Not pretty - and condoms don’t help for a lot of this because the fluids can still penetrate through along with the disease and pestilence.

I’m not a doctor or a medical researcher so I have to depend on common sense and what I can find online. When you search questions like “how many Americans have STDs each year?” or “how many Americans have multiple STD infections each year?” you will get a range of data which probably gives a fairly accurate view of what is happening.

At any given time a certain percentage of the populations has HAD a venereal disease and that percentage varies within a range over the years. That range of rates is certain to be higher than the currently active infections at that same given time.

I would be interested in finding out how those “currently” infected and “at one time” infected rates have changed over the years. This isn’t a new problem and it probably isn’t a solvable problem which leads me to believe not much has changed.
