The Future Impact of STDs (Sexually Transmissible Diseases)
In the US, roughly 10 million new cases of STDs occur every year - and the proportions are similar for most western nations.
The projected future costs of this are hard to estimate but the consensus for the US is about 10 billion dollars per year!
This is just the direct cost.. It doesn't consider the damage done to peoples quality of life!
Researchers are now seeing the emergence of a gonorrhea that's resistant to cephalosporin, the last known effective antibiotic! The almost inevitable spread of this strain will be catastrophic!
Most of the population has little sympathy for victims of STDs. They judge them as "Sex in the City" types who deserve what they get.
