Health Officials:  Milwaukee Has 1 Of Highest STD Rates Of Any City

Milwaukee officials plan to use social media to reach out to young people after discovery of what is being called a H-I-V and S-T-D “cluster” in the city.  Milwaukee is home to one of the highest S-T-D rates of any American city and the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin says the cluster of 125 people includes some children.  Experts say confirmed data shows 40-to-50 percent of high school age young people in Wisconsin are having sex.  That’s one of the factors leading to more than four-thousand cases of gonorrhea in Milwaukee last year — another figure that leads the nation.
