Per the Center for Disease Control, record numbers of STD diagnoses plagued the United States for the entire previous year. CDC officials noted in an official report that for the past calendar year, the U.S, added at least 200k more than the previous year.
The report also confirmed that about 2.3m cases of STD’s were seen across the entire United States, a steep rise, compared to usual years. Officials say that they believe one of the reasons for the rise in cases, is, the subsequent rise in medicines that make it harder to contract HIV for those whom are negative.
Let this serve as a reminder for those in America, and even abroad, that getting tested is nothing to be ashamed of and should be a normal part of routine life.
