Sex roulette: 20 million NEW cases of STDs diagnosed annually in US, but in reality almost one out of three people has an STD and probably multiple STDs

1.5 million cases of chlamydia, 0.4 million cases of  gonorrhea, and 0.024 million cases of syphilis. So what are the other 18.076 million cases, hm?

The YAHOO! story here never tells you.

THE TRUTH IS, AT LEAST 80 MILLION AMERICANS ARE WALKING AROUND RIGHT NOW WITH AT LEAST ONE SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE.

In addition to the 1.924 million NEW cases mentioned, the additional 18.076 million NEW cases must come from among the 3.71 million current cases of Trichomoniasis (hey, she smells fishy down there), and from the 24.1 million current cases of HSV-2 (genital herpes), and from the 79.1 million current cases of HPV (causing most genital and anal cancers). That's not to mention the 0.908 million current cases of HIV and the 0.422 million current cases of Hepatitis B.

This means that there are in excess of 110 million infections with STDs right now in the United States in at least 79.1 million individuals, which is 25% of the total population and 31% of everyone 16 years of age and older.

Feelin' lucky?
