Got up this morning and checked the news and here this article was. Wow, I thought it was difficult before but now. Shucks, the odds of getting something is rather high. Looks like a rain coat is required more now than ever.

'The 19 million new cases of syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia diagnosed in the United States each year cost the nation's health care system $17 billion annually, according to an annual report released Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.'

If you all stop screwing around we could put $17 billion towards the deficient. Just kidding there would be too many tense people out there. :-P

:lol:

haha I believe so, thank human sexuality and my gnome like teacher at ASU and my ex for making me sit thru that class with her.

Herpes for sure, AIDS if you have a open cut I would imagine most others can be transmitted orally.

Interesting stats. Somehow, "hittin' it" sounds better than "ballin'... however, I run with the over-40 crowd.

Wait a minute, 19 million cases of std cost 17 BILLION? So each case of syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia diagnosed costs like $895? Is your source on this reliable? The cure for gonorrhea and chlamydia is a trip to the dr and a dose of anti biotics. There is no way that is even close to $895 per case.

What is Genital Human Papillomavirus (HPV)?

Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus. Most sexually active people in the United States (U.S.) will have HPV at some time in their lives. There are more than 40 types of HPV that are passed on through sexual contact. These types can infect the genital areas of men, including the skin on and around the penis or anus. They can also infect the mouth and throat.

What are the health problems caused by HPV in men?

Most men who get HPV (of any type) never develop any symptoms or health problems. But some types of HPV can cause genital warts. Other types can cause penile, anal, or oropharyngeal cancers (cancers of the back of throat including base of tongue and tonsils). The types of HPV that can cause genital warts are not the same as the types that can cause cancer. Anal cancer is not the same as colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is more common than anal cancer, but it is not caused by HPV.

Some men are more likely to develop HPV-related diseases than others:

  • Men who have sex with men are about 17 times more likely to develop anal cancer than men who only have sex with women.
  • Men with weakened immune systems, including those who have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), are even more likely than other men to develop anal cancer. Men with HIV are also more likely to get severe cases of genital warts that are harder to treat.
What are the signs and symptoms?

Most men who get HPV never develop any symptoms or health problems. But for those who do develop health problems, these are some of the signs and symptoms to look for:
Genital warts:

  • One or more growths on the penis, testicles, groin, thighs, or anus.
  • Warts may be single, grouped, raised, flat, or cauliflower-shaped. They usually do not hurt.
  • Warts may appear within weeks or months after sexual contact with an infected person.
Anal cancer:

  • Sometimes there are no signs or symptoms.
  • Anal bleeding, pain, itching, or discharge.
  • Swollen lymph nodes in the anal or groin area.
  • Changes in bowel habits or the shape of your stool.
Penile cancer:

  • First signs: changes in color, skin thickening, or a build-up of tissue on the penis.
  • Later signs: a growth or sore on the penis. It is usually painless, but in some cases, the sore may be painful and bleed.
Oropharyngeal cancers

  • Sore throat or ear pain that doesn't go away
  • Constant coughing
  • Pain or trouble swallowing or breathing
  • Weight loss
  • Hoarseness or voice changes that last more than 2 weeks
  • Lump or mass in the neck
How do Men get HPV?

HPV is passed on through genital contact—most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex. Since HPV usually causes no symptoms, most men and women can get HPV—and pass it on—without realizing it. People can have HPV even if years have passed since they had sex. Even men with only one lifetime sex partner can get HPV.
