Sexually Transmitted Infections
Sexually transmitted infections are experiencing a rise in the U.S. Infections can lead to long-term health issues from recurrent dysfunction, dementia, infertility, and even death. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation focuses on the incidence of chlamydia when measuring STI rates, as it is a common and easily transmitted infection that is often asymptomatic (presents no outward symptoms) and is of particular concern for women as it can lead to infertility.
