Fact and Answers about STIs

• The estimated total number of people living in
  the US with an incurable STD is over 65 million.
  Every year, there are approximately 15 million
  new cases of STDs, a few of which are curable.
• Two-thirds of all STDs occur in people 25 years
  of age or younger.
• One in four new STD infections occur in
  teenagers.
• Cervical cancer in women is linked to high-risk
  types of HPV
• Of the STDs that are diagnosed, only
  four--gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia and
  hepatitis B--are required to be reported to state
  health departments and the CDC for statistical
  purposes. Hepatitis B is recent addition to that
  list.
• Hepatitis B is 100 times more infectious than HIV
  
• STDs, other than HIV, cost more than 8 billion
  each year to diagnose and treat, both the disease
  and their complications.
• It is estimated that as many as one in four
  Americans have genital herpes, yet at least 80
  percent of those with herpes are unaware they
  have it

Fact and Answers about STIs

• At least one in four Americans will contract an
  STD at some point in their lives.
• Overall, herpes is the most common STD in the
  United States, with more than 45 million
  individuals having this lifelong (but harmless)
  virus. In a given year, however, it is estimated
  that more people will become infected with HPV
  than with herpes. More than 1 million people
  acquire herpes each year and over 5 million
  people acquire HPV each year. Some researchers
  believe that HPV infections may self-resolve and
  may not be lifelong like herpes.
• Less than half of adults ages 18 to 44 have ever
  been tested for an STD other than HIV / AIDS.
• At least 15 percent of all infertile American
  women are infertile because of tubal damage
  caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), the
  result of an untreated STD.
• Approximately two-thirds of Hepatitis B (HBV)
  infections are transmitted sexually, HBV is
  linked to chronic liver disease, including
  cirrhosis and liver cancer.
