Now that we know which countries have the highest sexually transmitted disease (STD) rates around the world and which states in this country are considered “STD Hotspots,” let’s see which cities inside those states have the largest concentration of STD cases. Rentapplication.com collected data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to paint an accurate picture showing the scope of STDS in this country. As it turns out, Montgomery, Ala., was named the most sexually diseased city in the United States.

"It's pretty sobering to look at those three as a total," said Tom Miller, chief medical officer for the Alabama Department of Public Health. "When we check numbers and try to get to the same point as was reported in this (ranking), we think the numbers are in the ballpark in terms of the numbers cited for Montgomery.”

Although the data did not include statistics for herpes transmissions, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia rates were included for U.S. cities with the largest populations. Montgomery landed at the top of the list with 1,899.2 cases per 100,000 people. St. Louis, Mo., came in at second among the most sexually diseased U.S. cities with 1,867.54 per 100,000. Unfortunately, it seems STDs have turned into a prevailing issue in the southern U.S.

Cities including Norfolk, Va.; Killeen, Texas; and Fayetteville, N.C. accounted for the fifth, ninth, and 10th spots on the list of cities with the highest STD rates. Coincidentally (or no coincidence at all), all three of these southern cities are also home to large military populations. A similar report conducted by the CDC revealed that STD rates are significantly higher in southeastern states, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama.

“The take-home here is that with 2014 data, Montgomery will look a whole lot different,” Miller added. “The caveat there is that if other cities see the same downward trend, it wouldn't make a difference in our rankings.”
