i would think that the rise of STDs is from apps like Tender. so many booty call apps for the smart phones that it was only a matter of time before there was an increase.
I'd even say we could see exactly where it came from should we have the ability to see the ethnic breakdown and follow the trail of cases by date of diagnosis.

Let that sink in a few moments...
How many "coke and rum"s should we have before we let anything sink in? Just asking.
Was hoping the resident apologists would show up on the defense
For your drunkenness or ignorance? I can't apologize for either of those, but I can surely point to them -- the beauty of ATS.
Please detail my ignorance.

Ugh. Damn. You're out of arrows because the article mentions nothing of the sort and you're simply perpetuating a myth. Do people of lesser resources have a higher incidence (you'll notice -- if you have any acumen -- it's not the same as prevalence) of health problems of any ilk? The answer is obvious (unless you need me to log on in a few days and provide you with the WHO stats)...BUT, it's about ethnicity. Ouch.
You seem to be a fairly bright guy -- I earnestly mean that (swear on the Redskins' Super Bowl chances [yes, it's a bit of a controversial representative and maybe even, 'racist', term, but it's nowhere near what true 'racism' is*]) -- but you're transparent as hell with this 'take'. That's weak, bro. C'mon, man. You can do better.

Lol, wut?
Dude, you've done a bang-up job of that yourself; again, the beauty of ATS, I don't have to because you've done so self-admittedly.
Are we on PDT? It helps to gauge your level of inebriation. I need facts, the crux of "Deny Ignorance". Drink up...the morning will, well, I don't know, maybe be better? Less confused?? More confused??? Nothing wrong with 'sippin on grandpa's cough medicine'...something wrong with making "I don't want your company, I drank profusely alone" (paraphrased, but your words, WITHOUT A DOUBT [beauty of ATS]) threads? I can't say, but I can point to facts.
Come at, bro.
Every person deserves the chance to be healthy, but in the United States, some racial and ethnic groups have worse health than others. These health disparities do not have a single cause, but many complex and connected causes, including the following:
Social determinants, such as poverty, lack of education, racism, and discrimination.
Environment and community conditions, such as lack of resources that support physical activity or healthy eating options. Behaviors, such as poor diet, tobacco use, and physical inactivity.
Health care access, such as less availability and lower quality of medical services.
Surveillance data show higher rates of reported STDs among some racial or ethnic minority groups when compared with rates among Whites.1,2 Race and Hispanic ethnicity in the United States are population characteristics that are correlated with other fundamental determinants of health status such as high rates of poverty, income inequality, unemployment and low educational attainment.3-5 Those who cannot afford basic necessities may have trouble accessing and affording quality sexual health services.
