STI Rates Remain 13% Higher Than a Decade Ago, Compounded by Significant Public Knowledge Gaps - Greenline News

Atlanta: Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals that national STI infection rates remain 13% higher than ten years ago, with over 2.2 million reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.

An Annenberg Public Policy Center poll found widespread knowledge deficits: while 95% understood herpes transmission, only 75% knew HPV is an STI, only 35% were aware mpox can be sexually transmitted, and just 13% knew Zika poses sexual transmission risks.
