(The CDC didn&rsquo;t include&nbsp;new stats&nbsp;<\/span><span>for HIV\/AIDS.) Researchers believe bans on comprehensive <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> education plus lack of funding for STD testing are fueling the southern dominance of new infections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Close to 20 million new infections are reported in the U.S. every year. But that&rsquo;s only a tiny fraction of existing cases.&nbsp;The actual number is probably closer to 110&nbsp;million. Many people (90 million to be precise) either don&rsquo;t realize they&rsquo;re infected or don&rsquo;t seek medical help.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;STDs are hidden epidemics of enormous health and economic consequence in the United States,&rdquo; the CDC stated. &ldquo;They are hidden because many Americans are reluctant to address sexual health issues in an open way and because of the biologic and social characteristics of these diseases.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, there were&nbsp;1,401,906 reported cases of chlamydia.&nbsp;Alaska, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Alabama lead the nation with&nbsp;the most new infections.<\/p>\n<p>There were also&nbsp;<span>333,004 reported cases of gonorrhea, with Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina leading the charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And there were 17,375 reported cases of syphilis, with&nbsp;Louisiana, Maryland, Georgia, Illinois, and Florida reporting the most new cases.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC&nbsp;also noted&nbsp;an&nbsp;increase in&nbsp;syphilis among <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">bisexual<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If you are a sexually active <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a> who is <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a>, <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">bisexual<\/a>, or has <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> with <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a>, you should request tests for syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV at least once a year,&rdquo; the CDC recommended. &ldquo;More frequent STD testing is recommended if&nbsp;you are a pregnant <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">woman<\/a>, you should request for <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> at high risk.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>So what&rsquo;s the deal?<\/p>\n<p>Some speculate it may have to do with higher rates of poverty and lower levels of education.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncsddc.org\/blog\/state-state-whats-happening-stds-south\">National Coalition of&nbsp;STD Directors<\/a>, in Louisiana, almost 18 percent of people were living below the poverty line in 2011.
