STIs in the USA: These are the states where you’re most at risk of catching a sexually transmitted infection
NY Post
Some places carry a higher risk of sexually transmitted diseases — where does your home state land?
New data from Universal Drugstore revealed the STD hotspots across the country, according to the company’s “Sexual Health Index.”
Mississippi, for one, was ranked as the “worst affected” by sexually transmitted infections, with one of the highest chlamydia rates in the nation of 700 cases per 100,000 people.
The southern state, which was assigned a rating of 9.64 out of 10, also had the lowest rate for HPV vaccination, ringing in at 38.5% — over 20% lower than the country’s average.
Trailing behind was the northern state of Alaska, which was given a score of 8.47. While its low STI case number is deceiving, the small population size makes its rates” one of the worst affected.
In Alaska, rates of gonorrhea infection are 251.1 per 100,000 people, while rates of chlamydia are 700.9 per 100,000 residents.

The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
