Latest HIV Infection Rates
New data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that reported, despite massive condom distribution, annual cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States continued to climb in 2019, reaching an all-time high for the sixth consecutive year.
The newly released 2019 STD Surveillance Report found:
- 2.5 million reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, the three most commonly reported STDs in 2019.
- A nearly 30% increase in these reportable STDs between 2015 and 2019.
- The sharpest increase was in cases of syphilis among newborns (i.e., congenital syphilis), which nearly quadrupled between 2015 and 2019.
According to CDC statistics, men who have sex with men (MSM) accounted for 81% of HIV cases in 2018.
The CDC states explicitly that “condom use cannot provide absolute protection against any STD” and that “there is no treatment that can cure viral STDs, such as HPV and genital herpes.” In addition, “no barrier methods for use during oral sex have been evaluated as effective by the Food and Drug Administration.” It would appear that those pushing for so called “safe sex” education using condoms and the normalization of oral and anal sex have blood on their hands.
According to Dr. Edward C. Green, director of the AIDS Prevention Research Project at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies,
There is a consistent association shown by our best studies, including the U.S.-funded “Demographic Health Surveys,” between greater availability and use of condoms and higher (not lower) HIV-infection rates.
