Map of sexually transmitted diseases Across America

Why is republican territory riddled with STDs?????

California Has Herpes, did I say something wrong?

The black populations obviously are up in the stratosphere. Just like in the Caribbean and Africa. It's like 80% of all blacks have some kind of nasty disease.

Rubbers are Voodoo

Oh, yes. STDs in Racial and Ethnic Minorities ... here [link to www.cdc.gov]

Banning all forms of sex would fix this.

ahh that is all phooey, california is pretty much white on every statistic on that site..No way LA is a clean place. I think thats bull

what is happening in milwaukee?

Now I understand better why that asshole from Oklahoma City (who posted a thread yesterday about having slept with someone from glp and now had some infection)talked about comparing a list of past lovers with this random hook up. I guess it is common practise in the south to ascertain whether their potential one night stand is riddled with std's..... I guess we don't have as any causes for concern here in the great white north.

Republican by state, but if you were to do the same map by county, you would find that they are the democrat hotspots in the south.

Predominately black, dumbass..

Yes, just a little from that site:

Completeness of Race/Ethnicity Data

Many cases are reported with race and/or ethnicity missing. Rate data presented in this report are not adjusted for missing race or ethnicity.

Chlamydia—In 2010, 26.2% of chlamydia case reports were missing race or ethnicity data, ranging by state from 0.5% to 55.9% (Table A1).

Gonorrhea—In 2010, 20.0% of gonorrhea case reports were missing information on race or ethnicity data, ranging by state from 0.0% to 42.9% (Table A1).

Syphilis—In 2010, 2.5% of syphilis case reports were missing information on race or ethnicity data, ranging from 0.0% to 19.2% among states with 10 or more cases of P&S syphilis (Table A1).

Observations

Chlamydia

Chlamydia rates based on reported cases increased during 2009–2010 among all racial and ethnic groups (Figure 6). During 2006–2010, chlamydia rates increased by 26.9% among blacks, 4.9% among American Indians/Alaska Natives, 11.0% among Hispanics, 23.7% among Asians/Pacific Islanders, and 25.3% among whites.

Blacks—In 2010, the overall rate among blacks in the United States was 1,167.5 cases per 100,000, a 4.0% increase from the 2009 rate of 1,122.2 cases per 100,000. The rate of chlamydia among black women was over seven times the rate among white women (1,536.5 and 205.1 per 100,000 women, respectively) (Figure O). The chlamydia rate among black men was almost 11 times the rate among white men (761.8 and 69.9 cases per 100,000 men, respectively).

Chlamydia rates were highest for blacks aged 15–19 and 20–24 years in 2010 (Table 11B). The chlamydia rate among black females aged 15–19 years was 7,719.1 cases per 100,000 women, which was 6.6 times the rate among white females in the same age group (1,172.1). The rate among black women aged 20–24 years was over five times the rate among white women in the same age group (Table 11B).
Similar racial disparities in reported chlamydia rates exist among men. Among males aged 15–19 years, the rate among blacks was 13.1 times the rate among whites (Table 11B). The chlamydia rate among black men aged 20–24 years was almost eight times the rate among white men of the same age group (3,292.5 and 415.4 cases per 100,000 men, respectively).

American Indians/Alaska Natives—In 2010, the chlamydia rate among American Indians/Alaska Natives was 592.8 cases per 100,000 population, an increase of 7.8% from the 2009 rate of 549.8 cases per 100,000. Overall, the rate of chlamydia among American Indians/Alaska Natives in the United States was more than four times the rate among whites.

Asians/Pacific Islanders—In 2010, the chlamydia rate among Asians/Pacific Islanders was 115.3 cases per 100,000 population, an increase of 5.1% from the 2009 rate of 109.7 cases per 100,000. The overall rate among Asians/Pacific Islanders was lower than the rate among whites.

Hispanics—In 2010, the chlamydia rate among Hispanics was 369.6 cases per 100,000 population, which is a 4.4% increase from the 2009 rate of 353.9 cases per 100,000 and nearly three times the rate among whites.

Gonorrhea

During 2009–2010, gonorrhea rates increased 21.5% among American Indians/Alaska Natives (87.0 to 105.7), 13.1% among Asians/Pacific Islanders (13.7 to 15.5), 11.9% among Hispanics (44.6 to 49.9), 9.0% among whites (21.2 to 23.1) and 0.3% among blacks (431.1 to 432.5) (Figure 22).

Blacks—In 2010, 69% of all reported cases of gonorrhea occurred among blacks. The rate of gonorrhea among blacks in 2010 was 432.5 cases per 100,000 population (Figure 22), which was 18.7 times the rate among whites (23.1). This disparity has changed little in recent years (Figure P). This disparity was larger for black men (22.2 times) than for black women (16.2 times) (Figure Q).
As in 2009, the disparity in gonorrhea rates for blacks in 2010 was larger in the Midwest and Northeast than in the West or the South (Figure R).

Considering all racial/ethnic and age categories, gonorrhea rates were highest for blacks aged 15–19 and 20–24 years in 2010 (Table 22B). Black women aged 15–19 years had a gonorrhea rate of 2,032.4 cases per 100,000 women. This rate was 17.1 times the rate among white women in the same age group (119.0). Black women aged 20–24 had a gonorrhea rate of 1,997.6 cases per 100,000 women, which was 12.7 times the rate among white women in the same age group (156.7) (Table 22B).

Black men aged 15–19 years had a gonorrhea rate of 1,024.7 cases per 100,000 men, which was 37.4 times the rate among white men in the same age group (27.4). Black men aged 20–24 years had a gonorrhea rate of 1,768.8 cases per 100,000 men, which was 22.6 times the rate among white men in the same age group (78.2) (Table 22B).

American Indians/Alaska Natives—In 2010, the gonorrhea rate among American Indians/Alaska Natives was 105.7 cases per 100,000 population, which was 4.6 times the rate among whites (Figure 22, Figure P). The disparity between gonorrhea rates for American Indians/Alaska Natives and whites was larger for American Indian/Alaska Native women (5.0 times) than for American Indian/Alaska Native men (3.9 times) (Figure Q). In 2010, the disparity in gonorrhea rates for American Indians/Alaska Natives was higher in the West and Midwest than in the Northeast or South (Figure R).

Asians/Pacific Islanders—In 2010, the gonorrhea rate among Asians/Pacific Islanders was 15.5 cases per 100,000 population, which was lower than the rate among whites (Figure 22, Figure P). This difference is larger for Asian/Pacific Islander women than for Asian/Pacific Islander men (Figure Q). In 2010, rates among Asians/Pacific Islanders were again lower than rates among whites in all four regions of the United States (Figure R).

Hispanics—In 2010, the gonorrhea rate among Hispanics was 49.9 cases per 100,000 population, which was 2.2 times the rate among whites (Figures 22 and P). This disparity between Hispanics and whites was similar to that in recent years and was higher for Hispanic men than for Hispanic women (Figure Q). The disparity in gonorrhea rates for Hispanics was highest in the Northeast and lowest in the West (Figure R).

So, OP, your little map aligns pretty much with the presence of a minority population, doesn't it?

Also, why are you posting this in the first place? Shouldn't you be more concerned with the rates a little nearer to home?

Not trying to make the U.S. look bad again, are you?

Actually California has more programs to tackle all STDS, information, passing out condoms, and free testing. Awareness drove down the STD Epidemic of the late 1970's early 1980's.

While most of the other states were hard at work preaching abstinence, California took a more realistic approach. Awareness and teaching people to use protection had a net impact not only on STDS but on unwanted pregnancies.

Per Capital California has the lowest unwanted pregnancies and abortions than many of the states.

Understand we have over 10% of the US population here, 31 million. So if you look at just number infected it looks large, in reality it is small compared to the over all population.

Wow.... why does Hawaii have the highest chlamydia rate, but low rates for everything else? That seems like a red flag...

I am at home, I do not look bad no, I share only interesting news

Oh my goodness! That la-gaa (French for nasty) is all over the south! Yuck! So glad I'm happily married!

Solution: Don't fuck the wildlife

Maryland is #1 for AIDS



I need to start wrapping it up...

I knew that I would someday be a part of something bigger than me!

Well it makes sense. When a northern girl has a party, she says "you come." A southern girl says "ya'll come!" Also it takes southern girls longer to say "quiiiit it."

The correlation you're seeing has nothing to do with geography, it has everything to do with race.
:African:

Blacks have astronomically higher incidence of stds due to their standard common behaviors. I'm sorry if the truth bothers you but this is nothing more than TNB.

Rebel with morals?

Heroin, injection drugs like coke, etc. I met this beautiful girl in North Dakota whose parents sent her there cause of her drug problem. Needles, nevertheless I wouldn't touch her after she told me her story.
