That means that there has been a sharp increase in STDs in our country. The report goes on to state the following:<\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gonorrhea diagnoses increased 67% overall and nearly doubled among men.<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Syphilis diagnoses increased 76%.<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chlamydia remained the most common condition reported to CDC. More than 1.7 million cases were diagnosed in 2017, with 45% among 15- to 24-year-old females.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CDC went on to say that, \u201cChlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are curable with antibiotics, but most cases go undiagnosed and untreated \u2014 which can lead to severe adverse health effects that include infertility, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth in infants, and increased HIV risk.\u201d<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s important to have open and honest conversations with your partner and to get tested regularly.
