WebMd, Many get second STD soon after first

March 14, 2007

According to WebMd, "One in four women and one in seven men get a new sexually transmitted disease within a year of their last STD." The study, which was conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggested that people who have had one STD, were more likely to contract a second (different) STD. Even more interesting, is the fact that the majority of the second STD infections were symptom free. Thus people were more likely to spread their STD infection to others without knowing it. This is a pretty interesting read. Check out the full article at WebMd.
