1. Louisiana
Rate of Chlamydia per 100,000 people: 695.2
Rate of Gonorrhea, per 100,000 people: 221.1
Rate of Syphilis per 100,000 people: 15
Insider Monkey Score: 13.33
The numbers above make for stark reading. A rate of 700 people for every 100,000 infected with chlamydia is concerning, to say the least. The gay population and the young population of the state are at a higher risk of STDs than in any other state in the country. This is why, unfortunately, Louisiana is the number one in the list of states with the highest STD rates in America.
