We are continuing our list of states with the highest STD rates in America with Georgia that has managed to get 5 cities in the top 60 most sexually diseased cities, an achievement which I am sure it would have rather not claimed. A lack of awareness and poverty are the primary culprits behind the increasing rate of STDs in the state. Again, as is common with most states in the list, the highest number of people affected by STDs belong to the age bracket 18-24. They tend to not use protection, both to increase their pleasure and because they consider themselves to be invincible.
