HiV & STIs Rising Rapidly (HOU)

Interesting (and concerning) trend of HiV & STIs in Houston, which leads TX in these statistics.

I certainly wasn’t getting any during my time in college (not by choice lol :sweat_smile:)…but I sure hope them kids on campus are aware & being careful.

that amazes me that continues to rise presumably mostly from younger adults. i finished UH in 1997 and that stuff was known, especially hiv but wasnt in your face like it is today, seems today people get daily reminders of those consequences. i still remember for s hort period in the 90s i hung with some fast women, had unprotected sex one time, i was worried for three months that i might have just chanced myself into getting HIV; i don’t know how the young adults today don’t take things slow with everything they know.

Because they are young and invincible. Like all generations.

If like all generations, wouldn’t rates be stable?

Depends on the risky/lifestyle in which engaged. Attitude of it won’t happen to me the same.

Do we need to fire up the Sex Safe campaign?
