The STD Rate In Iowa Might Surprise You
June is the #1 month for one-night stands. In fact, the number of hookups nationwide has reached an all-time high. Because of this, the Centers for Disease Control report that STD cases are higher than ever, as well. How does Iowa stack up? Keep these facts and figures in mind before going home with Mr. (or Miss) Right Now...
To help you get your game on while staying safe, BackgroundChecks.org put together a list of the best and worst states for STDs in America. The site ranked each state based on the number of cases per 100,000 residents.
Here are the top ten "dirtiest" states:
10. Alabama
9. Arkansas
8. Oklahoma
7. Georgia
6. So. Carolina
5. New Mexico
4. Missisippi
3. No. Carolina
2. Louisiana
1. Alaska
As it turns out, Iowa is relatively low on this list, coming in 40th out of 50. Way to go! I'm sure our parents will be very proud that we paid attention during sex ed class.
