shouldn't testing and treatment of std be compulsory?


should everyone get tested for STD now?

because

"there is an STD epidemic in the USA

according to CDC there are

110,000,000 STD Infections in the USA now and

20,000,000 new sexually transmitted infections occur in the USA each year

which means at this rate of infection all most

everyone in the USA will be infected

in less than 20 years" say scientists

yes that's right

STDs also impose a substantial economic burden


CDC estimates STD cases cost the U.S. healthcare system nearly $16 billion each year.

California lawmakers vote to reduce penalty for knowingly exposing sexual partners to HIV

State lawmakers on Monday gave final legislative approval to a bill that would reduce from a felony to a misdemeanor the crime of knowingly exposing a sexual partner to HIV without disclosing the infection.

The same reduction in crime level would apply to people who donate blood or semen without disclosing that they have tested positive for HIV or AIDS.

 

[MistressMoira]

Modern terminology has it as STI's.

 

[Snugbug]

I you can always require potential sexual partners to get checked before you sleep with them.

 

[Hypoxia]

We should all be screened for everything.

We will all fail to pass the tests.

We must all be killed.

For the kids.

What's the penalty for beating someone with a baseball bat?

How absolutely ridiculous. If you can't trust your partner or have multiple partners use protection.

Perhaps IQ testing would be more beneficial than STD testing.

Good tip. I'll keep that in mind.

Be sure to herd your crabs to safety.

BTW I voted "not compulsory" because trust and fate. And vaccines.

PS: Back in the day is was just VD, and you had gono and syph and clymidia, and of course crabs. Dose yourself with A200 for the lice, get your monthly shot down at the county clinic, and you're good to go. Skip the Spanish Fly.

The first college I was at had a mandatory a VDRL test. It had to be clean before you could be on campus.
My pediatrician was shocked, I had to find a public health place who would do it which was not easy.

That would be personal responsibility.....the government worshipers on the left can't stand that evil, vile, horrible shit.

No, and it wouldn't cost the "US healthcare system"....aka taxpayers 16 billion each year if we just quit charging taxpayers and made people pay for their own shit.

But then again....that's more of that shit people can't stand.

 

[AnAmericanDarling]

No, getting tested for STDs shouldn't be mandatory.

 

[BobaFetaCheese]

Sometimes it can be mandatory, like when it hurts to pee.

 

[someoneyouknow]

If I'm forced to pay for health insurance then yes, compulsory STD testing. Let the insurance company pay for it.
