US saw record number of STDs in 2019: How each state stacks up 

The CDC reported a record number of sexually transmitted disease cases in 2019 for the sixth consecutive year. 

There were more than 2.5 million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis reported nationwide for 2019, which is the most recent data available. 

Kaiser Family Foundation on Nov. 10 published three rankings breaking down the total number of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis cases reported in each state in 2019. The rankings are based on data from the CDC's Sexually Transmitted Diseases Surveillance dashboard.  Population data is from the U.S. Census Bureau.
