With another record setting murder rate year, one more disappointing statistic is following our city.
A survey compiled from data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that Baltimore City has the highest STD rate in the country.
Baltimore, was ranked No. 6 last year, but jumped five spots to the No. 1 position, according to Innerbody.com.
Per every 100,000 people, there were a reported 2,004 reported STD cases in Baltimore. There were 7,636 cases of chlamydia, 4,231 cases of gonorrhea, 207 cases of HIV and 210 cases of syphilis.
This is very disheartening.
