A new study analyzing data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finds that the D.C. metropolitan area has the ninth-highest incidence of STDs in the country.
The South continues to be disproportionately represented among the metropolitan areas, with 14 of the hardest-hit 25 cities being located in the South, including three from Florida and three from South Carolina.
According to the study, these are the 10 U.S. cities with the highest overall STD Rates (these numbers are per 100,000 residents):
1. Memphis, Tennessee – 1,460
2. Jackson, Mississippi – 1,358
3. Columbia, South Carolina – 1,350
4. Baltimore, Maryland – 1,327
5. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – 1,200
6. New Orleans, Louisiana – 1,145
7. Milwaukee, Wisconsin – 1,142
8. Little Rock, Arkansas – 1,126
9. Washington, D.C. – 1,081
10. Norfolk, Virginia – 1,069
