You’re more likely to catch an STD in Alaska than any other state, according to a new report.
Sexually transmitted diseases have hit an all-time high in America — with the frontier state ranking the most infected nationally, according to data from the Center for Disease Control.
The icy state racked up a less-than-steamy “disease score” of 484 per 100,000 people, according to the data. Mississippi was ranked second worst, followed by Louisiana and Georgia.
By contrast, Vermont was the most STD-free state with a score of 145 per 100,000 people. New Hampshire ranked second best, followed by West Virginia and Maine.
New York ranked the 13th most STD-infected state, according to the report.
Nationally, the number of STDs has spiked for the third consecutive year in an “epidemic” that may be linked to the popularity of dating apps, according to an analysis by the data website Backgroundchecks.org.
“With the popularity of hookup apps like Tinder and Grindr, finding casual sex partners has never been easier, but the increasing convenience of enjoying one-nighters has come with a cost: STD rates are surging in the U.S. like never before,” the site says.
“The problem is so bad that many experts are labeling the surge in STD rates a national epidemic,” it adds.
Overall, syphilis soared 17.6 percent nationwide, Chlamydia spiked 4.7 percent and Gonorrhea increased 18.5 percent between 2015 and 2016.
Men contracted the most cases of Syphilis nationally— a total of 90 percent — in 2016, according to the report, which compiled the most recent available data.
“Increases in STDs are a clear warning of a growing threat,” said Dr. Jonathan Mermin, director of CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, according to PJMedia.com
“STDs are a persistent enemy, growing in number, and outpacing our ability to respond,” he warned.
