Sexually transmitted diseases remain a persistent public health challenge in America: there were approximately 2.5 million new STD cases reported in 2023 alone, driven by sharp disparities across age, race, and region. Cases also tend to peak during the summer, when increased travel and social activity drive higher transmission. A new analysis from Invigor Medical identifies the U.S. counties and states with the highest STD infection rates. Researchers focused on four key infections—Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and HIV—analyzing the latest CDC surveillance data available.
