"After a 6-month, Covid-related delay, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finally released its latest Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance Report last month, and the numbers are disturbing. For the 6th consecutive year, the STD rate in the United States hit a record high.

Covid-19 has understandably dominated the news over the past 14 months. As we head into recovery and our economy begins to open up in the summer, it’s important not to lose sight of the viruses that predated the pandemic and currently infect over 110 million Americans, with over 20 million new infections each year."
