According to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sexually transmitted syphilis is up by 15.1 percent, and syphilis transmitted from mother to infant is up by 27.5 percent. Chlamydia has increased by 2.8 percent from 2013 to 2014, while gonorrhea has increased by 5.1 percent during that same time period. Most of the increase has been in the male population, 83 percent are from men who have sex with men. It's worth noting that syphilis, which is a disease that can cause sores on the genitals, can also make it easier to transmit and acquire HIV. The 2014 data shows that young people between 15 and 24 account for a disproportionately high percentage of STDs; they’re getting about half of the estimated 20 million new STDs diagnosed each year. Even with these increases, the CDC suspects the real numbers are higher, since many go undiagnosed – a particular problem in women, as it is estimated that more than 20,000 women become infertile each year due to undiagnosed STDs.

Soon as that shit hit American soil all the sudden people got treatment and it's not a problem anymore? Weird cause why is it a constant problem in africa?

Weird cause why is it a constant problem in africa? Supposedly because we have better hospitals that can treat the symptoms. That's the reason the healthcare workers came straight back to America for treatment.
