Online Dating and STD Awareness!

According to Vox Magazine – “In 2015, health officials in Rhode Island released data showing a dramatic spike in cases of syphilis (79 percent), gonorrhea (30 percent), and HIV (33 percent) in the previous year. The uptick, they said, wasn’t an outlier — it was part of a national trend. According to a September report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were more than 2 million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis reported in the United States in 2016 — the highest cumulative number ever recorded.” The biggest culprit for this huge spike in STI’s? Online dating apps, which some say foster a culture of casual sex that could be linked to the dramatic rise in STD’s by enabling users to meet people and hook up more efficiently than ever before.
