1. Data:

   * US data is from 2023: [https://www.cdc.gov/sti-statistics/media/pdfs/2024/10/2023-STD-Surveillance-State-Ranking-Tables.pdf](https://www.cdc.gov/sti-statistics/media/pdfs/2024/10/2023-STD-Surveillance-State-Ranking-Tables.pdf)
   * Canada data is from 2021: [https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/publications/diseases-conditions/chlamydia-gonorrhea-infectious-syphilis-2021-surveillance-data.html](https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/publications/diseases-conditions/chlamydia-gonorrhea-infectious-syphilis-2021-surveillance-data.html)

2. Is NH the NL of the US?

3. Mississippi coming in hot again after a couple charts with weak numbers

4. US epi here, the prevalence for some of these STIs are highest among african americans, so they are higher in states where there are more african americans.

5. Usually darker colors mean “more” or “heavier” so it’s odd to have the lightest color white be a middle number and the lowest the darkest green.

6. South again. Leader in all the worst health issues.

7. Color scheme is easy to read. Thank you.

8. *ARE* there 100k people in nunavut?

9. It’s always the Bible Belt, if only they taught sex educaiton

10. Is there any shitty stat that the South doesn’t excel at?

11. 2 to 1 it’s all in the family….

12. I knew Vermonters fucked more than Granite Staters. 

13. As a colourblind person I hate scales that use these colours.

    I can’t tell which state has crickets and which has an applause.

14. Everyone has Aids! ADIS aids aids

15. Half the cases in North Carolina are Marines stationed at Camp Lejeune.

16. Wait, is this a map of where sex education is banned?

17. My record so far is treating the same person on three separate occasions for Chlamydia. I’m not even in a clinic

18. That’s a lot of koalas in Canada.

19. Nunavut & NWT on fire…. Whoa 😲

20. Are there any maps like this where the South doesn’t suck?

21. If you have having trouble paying rent then spending on condoms is not on your priority list.

    If you have no free healthcare then getting a burning sensation checked out is not going to happen.

    IMO, the fact that Canada does so much better is entirely due to free healthcare which means infections are stopped much faster.

22. Chlamydia is a bacteria that is easily spread during sex and can cause infertility if left untreated. If you have infected discharge or painful urination please for the love of God go see a doctor and get treated. Every place in red is a place with poor public health outreach.

23. If you zoom in, you can see a dark red dot over The Villages in Florida.

24. In this case data is kinda ick

25. Wow. All of these maps lately show how bad Mississippi really is.

26. What is going on in Saskatchewan and Manitoba??

    Just kidding. I know it’s oil rigs.

27. Don’t go really south or really north

28. Most of the places, right in the slot. Not falling behind, not showing off.

29. Round of applause to New Hampshire and Newfoundland 👏

30. Come on Alberta, you can do better! Getting beat out by Saskatchewan is embarrassing.

31. Why is the Bible Belt always so over represented on any of these maps

32. Lots of koalas in the American South, I guess

33. Well they finally approved the [koala chlamydia vaccine](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41541-024-00938-5) so that should help.

34. Wow, West Virginia doing shockingly well. Not often I can say good job, guys!

35. Most of it tracks… but not one making things slap in Newfoundland? Also… Utah… shame.

36. Was trying to figure out why Cali of all places didn’t have available data on this- white sure is a choice for a color map.
