Preliminary data from the Centers for Disease Control show that the number of sexually transmitted infections in the US continued to increase in 2017. 45% of chlamydia cases last year were diagnosed in 15- to 24-year-old girls. Syphillis and gonorrhea were on the rise again this year. The latter is particularly concerning because of increasing rates of antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea. We have lots of work to do, in terms of education and prevention. Lots.
Just saw the stats about 45% of chlamydia cases being in young girls-scary stuff. Makes me realize how crucial proper sex ed is, similar to how taking an sbti personality test helps you understand yourself better. It’s wild that we still need so much awareness for basic health.
