According to Planned Parenthood,

STDs are infections that are spread from one person to another, usually during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. They’re really common, and lots of people who have them don’t have any symptoms. Without treatment, STDs can lead to serious health problems.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, some of the most common STDs in the United States are:

Bacterial Vaginosis
Chlamydia.
Gonorrhea.
Hepatitis.
Herpes.
HIV/AIDS & STDs.

The most-populated city in the United States, New York City, is the only place in New York State that made the top 10. But I guess the good news here, if there is any, is that while it’s the most populated city, it didn’t land at the top of the list.

The city that took home the honor of being number one is Jackson, Mississippi.

Here’s a snapshot of the STD problems in New York City, according to InnerBody.com, which conducted the study:

STD Cases / 100K Population – 2,544

HIV Cases 97,206

Chlamydia Cases – 74,014

Gonorrhea Cases – 28,394
