New data from the Centers For Disease Control shows that 1 in 5 people had a sexually transmitted disease in 2018.
The numbers show that there were nearly 68 million STD's on any given day with 26 million newly acquired diseases that year.
The study also shows that half of those with an STD were between the ages of 15 and 24.
Sexually transmitted diseases acquired by people in 2018 will lead to 16 billion dollars in lifetime medical costs for those affected.
