Compared to 2016 ranking, the top ten worst states all experienced a rise in the rate of gonorrhea per 100,000 residents. In Alaska (#1), Mississippi (#2) and Georgia (#4), the rate rose by more than 40 per 100,000, enough for Alaska to maintain its status as the worst state in United States.

Chlamydia rates also rose in most U.S.states.

Delaware’s (#9) rate of chlamydia infection increased by over 60 per 100,000, enough to bring it into the top ten. Mississippi’s infection rate jumped by a whopping 91.9 per 100,000, pushing it up to #2 overall.

Other U.S. states fared better, including North Carolina (#7), Louisiana (#2) and New Mexico (#5) which all experienced a decrease in chlamydia infections per 100,000.

Starting next year in California you can knowingly transmit HIV AIDS to someone and or knowingly donate HIV infected blood without much consequence(it was a felony)… How much of an increase in infected people will be the the result from this law over the next five years?
