These 50 cities have the highest STI rates in the US

Dirty south!

Philadelphia is finally number one at SOMETHING 😄😉

The northeast / New England is not in the top 50 - good news !

I expected Texans to be more disease ridden

[quote] Philadelphia, Memphis (TN), Jackson (MI) and New Orleans, LA. St. Louis (MO),

I wonder what do these cities have in common

Large POC populations.

No , CHURCH

Baton Rouge is weird. It's not a very metropolitan area, so I kind of agree with r6. Except for the LSU whores and drug addicts.

Phillywhore, care to comment?

It's not about cities. It is about demographics.

The CDC 2020:

"In 2018, African Americans/Blacks accounted for 42% of the 37,968 new HIV diagnoses in the United States"

"The rate of reported chlamydia cases among Black males was 6.8 times the rate among White males"

"Among males aged 15–19 years, the rate of reported chlamydia cases among Blacks was 9.1 times the rate among Whites"

"In 2018, the overall rate of reported gonorrhea cases among Blacks in the United States was 7.7 times the rate among Whites."

"In 2018, 34.7% of reported P&S syphilis cases with known race/Hispanic ethnicity information occurred among Blacks.:"

"From 2014 to 2018, the rate of reported congenital syphilis increased 126.7% among Blacks. In 2018, the rate of reported cases of congenital syphilis among Blacks was 6.4 times the rate among Whites"

"In 2018, 87% of all reported TB cases occurred in racial and ethnic minorities."

Condoms are racist

I mean it makes sense. Black men are more sexually active than white men. It’s easier for them to get laid. White men are also more likely to be socially awkward.

White men are statistically more likely to suffer from limp dick over black men.

Baton Rouge infections are iv drug use primarily, gay is very secondary I hear. And yes it's high in the black population, because they're at the financial bottom of the pack.

I can't believe Chicago isn't on that list. I don't buy it.

Well this is what happens when we tell our sons that circumcision prevents stds. It gives them all a false sense of security and they all raw dogging each other. Thank you Dr Kellog.

I can't believe The Villages, FL isn't on the list!

Maybe it doesn't count as a "city."

Queerty needs to learn state abbreviations. Last I checked, MI is Michigan not Mississippi.

Some of these small cities are interesting. Lack of education, lack of STD awareness, religion driving people into denial, conservatism suggesting only fags and liberals get STDs.

R10

POC and Gay men POC and Gay men

Based on my first hand observations I thought this is who gets STDs in the US.

R16

Did you read the article you posted? The whole Village thing is BS

[quote]I mean it makes sense. Black men are more sexually active than white men.

And dumber. You don't need to be a genius to wear a condom.

STI?

Sexual transmitted interest rate R22

My city has a rank on here one half of their population ranking. That must mean the town is full of whores.

Los Angeles is near the bottom, which is surprising because you know we are a bunch of Hos up here in Ho-Wood.

R25 I think in LA it is like with the black death. The disease died out because the people died with it.

[quote]Los Angeles is near the bottom, which is surprising because you know we are a bunch of Hos up here in Ho-Wood.

LA doesn’t have a large population of blacks like the other cities named.

Baltimore and DC not in top 10? Something is amiss.

Doesn't Philly have that street where they all just shoot up in the open? Is it possible to get gonorrhea, chlamydia etc from dirty needles?

I’m not surprised. In my salad days, I caught a bad case of crabs from a nasty boy in Philadelphia.

[quote]Black men are more sexually active than white men.

Why is that?

Baltimore was a non reporter for this list. I would guess DC was as well they would have ranked very high,

Damn my Atlanta brethren have lost their touch. We're at #37. I remember back in the 60s-70s when we enjoyed the title of "VD capital of the nation". I guess it was all those dirty hippies we had back then. You couldn't even drive down Peachtree St. through midtown for the tens of thousands of those creatures blocking the street.

[quote]LA doesn’t have a large population of blacks like the other cities named.

I was surprised to learn that the black population in all of California is only 6%.

[quote] I was surprised to learn that the black population in all of California is only 6%.

They're being crowded out by the Mexicans, like in Chicago.

I have read that black men also have much higher percentage of bisexual behavior than white men.

R36

NIH published a study from 8-9 years ago. In the 6-8 population areas they looked at white men had a significant level of bi activity far in excess of the black men. It was not at all close.

But black men do like msm or gay men have a significant increase in substance abuse, homelessness, mental health issues, domestic violence , etc etc that the larger population of men do not. But white males lead in bi activity by a large margin.

It’s an easy study to find with a search.

R37 it is not hard to conclude that more white men come from liberal background that will easier acknkwledge their bisexuality.

African American down low men are straight identifying and will acknowledge being bisexual.

In fact, until black women started being infected at rates 20 times as many as white women, down low culture was well hidden secret in black community.

I meant AA down low men will not acknowledge being bisexual.

[quote]I can't believe Chicago isn't on that list. I don't buy it.

well, they've shot and killed about a third of 'em.

You don't have to be medical expert to conclude that demogrsphics which are infected with HIV at unproportionally high rates, beside other factors, have more male on male sexual activity R37. Just use your own brain and logic.

They love to pathologize the sexual behavior of non white peoples, as if there are no white men on the downlow. Some of you make me sick.

Speaking of California, there was a black guy in a motorcycle group I rode with years ago who used to say, "I'm not black -- I'm [italic]California[/italic] black."

That always made me laugh.

Imagine being Defacto and having nothing in your life other than coming to datalounge and making every topic about your hatred for black people.

Isn’t it interesting that he didn’t mention that the worst cities are overwhelmingly in red states with shitty sex ed and no resources.

Unfortunately the sex ed lessons are written in cursive

People are always trying to fuck strangers raw I’m surprised it’s not higher everywhere

I don't know who this Defect person is you keep blabbing about.

Furthermore: quoting facts from the Center for Disease Control is about hatred for black people? If you have a problem with those statistics, take it up with them.

Philadelphia at number #1 is red?

^ Sorry for the typos....was rushing.

Look girlies, the topic of this thread is STDs and the public health data show that black men ( and unfortunatelly black women) make extremely large part of statistics. Can you accuse facts of being racist?

[quote] Can you accuse facts of being racist?

Every day and twice on Sunday

The perfect storm for a STD or HIV in the US is being a gay man , a black gay male, a black gay man who is homeless, and who is exchanging sex for drugs.

All four risk factors are very high on the high risk list for STDs and HV and when combined into one person it’s a perfect storm.

In other words, think before you put it in your stink.

And what is the hardest thing for a straight man from the suburbs to get from a female street walker in any major city in the US.

A BBBJ. Don’t even think of asking to fuck those street workers without a condom . A handjob without gloves that is on the menu. Yes exceptions happen but as a rule these straight hobbiests who frequent street workers understand that condoms are a must. The gals will insist.

Same thing in the Amsterdam red light districts. Everything is covered and STDs being passed just does not happen.

I’m not trusting any government statistics on people of color. They make a habit out of lying about us. And some of you are getting your rocks off spouting off these so called stats. You won’t believe any positive news on minorities, especially black Americans. But some of you love wallowing in your ignorance and hatred.

R54 if they are lying about the POC it is to cover up make data more politically correct, so you can expect that data are even worse.

You know that, but you just had to show how you are better and morally superior to the rest of us.

Because r55 I am morally superior to you, you pitiful alt right queen.

^ The one who is ignorant is you.

Meet the Chief Operating Officer of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

R54

Good for you. Everyone today is entitled to their own truth and their own facts. And it’s best to think that any facts not agreeing with your world view are no doubt wrong.

Black people are more likely to be poor. Fucking is one thing that's free. Until you get diseased. Then you pay dearly. Wrap up that dark meat, fellas.

R57 he works for the government. Whose truth is he telling?

R60 It's all a conspiracy. All a conspiracy!

Lizard men making false accusation that R54 is STIs ridden.

R44 No resources? Are condoms banned in red states?

This is one strange look at STD rates especially since it’s based on CDC data because CDC collects STD data on the entire country.

In this article No Baltimore, no DC, no Gary Indiana, no East Chicago Indiana, no East St Louis, Four or five areas that will no doubt have some of the highest STD rates in the country. Can’t remember if they listed Newark area or not.

An odd article for what they left out

OK they did include DC but not the rest.

I have to laugh at how out of touch "Queerty" is. They actually wrote this:

"The worst place for STIs, perhaps surprisingly is Philadelphia. One in 65 residents were diagnosed with an infection in 2022 in the city of brotherly love."

"Perhaps surprisingly"?
