STD Rates Hit Alarming New High

By Hello Beautiful November 17, 2009 2:15 pm

A recent study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions showed that the spread of sexually transmitted diseases is steadily continuing to rise after an internal report showed that reported Chlamydia cases broke a CDC record last year.

2008 witnessed 1.2 million new Chlamydia cases, beating the old record of 1.1 million set in 2007, which made history as the most recorded instances for that particular disease in history.

Another STD, Syphilis, has also experienced a jump in numbers. Nearly eliminated 10 years ago, there was 13,500 newly recorded cases is 2008, an increase of 2,000 cases from statistics given just one year before that.

According to the study, both gay and heterosexual men were the most likely to contract either sickness.

In a similarly related study, the CDC also discovered that the most religious states were also the states with the highest birthrates.

Mississippi topped the list. (via HipHopWired)

    Look’s like the genocide plan is becoming clearer everyday in this country for black america.
    With all this promotion of homothuggism,metrosexualism,bisexualism,child molesting,tricking
    with crack users and all these trashy negative rap records about sex,what can black america
    expect.
    I can’t forget what Spike Lee was checking the Perry guy promoting subtle gay and updated
    minstrels images to black america.
    So what is new,sounds like the same ole population control,genocide of black america to me.

    This is NO SURPRISE (smh)! It seems like the more diseases that have come to the forefront the more promiscuous people have become! Sad thing is these diseases are rampant with teenagers and those in their early 20’s. AIDS is also plaguing the young black community. I knew when I started seeing Valtrex commercials on a frequent basis that it wasn’t a good thing. People need to start taking stock in their livelihood and caring more for their bodies and their health. It’s a sad state of affairs out here!!!
