[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3937340, member: 569830"] Bullshit. His numbers are from here: [URL="http://www.ashastd.org/learn/learn_statistics.cfm"]http://www.ashastd.org/learn/learn_statistics.cfm[/URL] ASHA's numbers don't add up, to me. I haven't spent the time, nor am I inclined to, to actually dissect their data gathering and reporting methods, but it's definitely over the top IME. More accurate numbers, as reported by the US Centers for Disease Control for 2006: chlamydia - ~300 per 100,000 (0.3%) gonorrhea - ~100 per 100,000 (0.1%) trichomoniasis - ~400 per 100,000 (0.4%) other vaginitis - ~3,700 per 100,000 (3.7%) *this includes yeast infections, ya'll HPV (high-risk) - ~8 per 100,000 (0.8%) syphilis - less than 5 per 100,000 (chancroid - less than 0.5 per 100,000 genital herpes - ~350 per 100,000 (.3%) standard of error 20-30% genital warts - ~400 per 100,000 (.4%) standard of error 20-40 HIV/AIDS - ~37,000 reported in 2005 from 33 states. Around 185,000 new cases diagnosed between 2001 and 2005 from those same 33 states. So, assuming NONE of these were concurrent infections, and NONE of these people were repeat diagnoses (very common in many of these infections)... this leaves us with a grand total of about 2.3% of the population not including HIV/AIDS or other vaginitis. About 6% if you include all vaginitis. Another 6% in 5 years' time for new HIV/AIDS diagnosis. So.... 2.3% of 300 million.... plus an HIV/AIDS diagnosis rate of just about 1.25% per year... maybe this is where they come up with their 50% number before 25??? Since over a 25-year period, you'd have about 2-3% per year infection rate....which approximates 50%? Who knows... like I said, I'm not gonna really pursue their numbers much.
