Sti Remission Rate Statistics

In this post, we explore various statistics related to STIs and their remission rates, shedding light on the scale of these infections, the impact on individuals’ health, and the effectiveness of preventive measures and treatments. From the prevalence of specific STIs like trichomoniasis and herpes simplex virus type 2 to the importance of regular screenings and expedited partner therapy, the data presented here highlights the critical role of early detection and intervention in improving remission rates and reducing the spread of sexually transmitted infections.

Statistic 1

"Trichomoniasis affects an estimated 3.7 million people in the United States, though most do not show symptoms."

Statistic 2

"Expedited partner therapy (EPT) can help reduce the spread of STIs and improve remission rates."

Statistic 3

"Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) affects about 417 million people aged 15 - 49 worldwide."

Statistic 4

"Around 15% of infertility cases in women are attributable to untreated STIs."

Statistic 5

"Rates of trichomoniasis are higher in women than in men."

Statistic 6

"Approximately 50% of people with HPV will clear the infection naturally within two years."

Statistic 7

"The annual incidence of STIs worldwide is estimated to be about 376 million new infections."

Statistic 8

"Approximately 85% of sexually active individuals will contract an HPV infection in their lifetime."

Statistic 9

"Regular STI screenings and early treatment significantly improve remission rates and prevent severe health complications."

Statistic 10

"80% of people who have Chlamydia and successfully complete treatment are considered to be in remission."

Statistic 11

"There are more than 200,000 new cases of genital herpes in the United States every year."

Statistic 12

"Over 95% of syphilis cases are in low- and middle-income countries."

Statistic 13

"Condoms, when used correctly, are 98% effective at preventing most STIs including HIV."

Statistic 14

"Hepatitis B can be effectively prevented through vaccination, with more than 95% effectiveness."

Statistic 15

"PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) can reduce the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% when taken daily."

Statistic 16

"Annual testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea is recommended for sexually active women under 25."

Statistic 17

"Syphilis primary and secondary rates increased by 14.9% in 2018 in the U.S."

Statistic 18

"Gonorrhea had an incidence rate of 583,405 reported cases in the U.S. in 2018."

Statistic 19

"Chlamydia is the most commonly reported bacterial STI in the United States, with more than 1.7 million cases in 2018."

Statistic 20

"Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), often caused by untreated STIs, affects approximately 1 million women in the United States each year."

Regular STI screenings, expedited partner therapy, and timely treatment play crucial roles in improving remission rates for various sexually transmitted infections. The statistics presented highlight the significant impact of untreated STIs on both individual health and public health burden. Utilizing preventive measures such as condoms, vaccination, and PrEP, coupled with early detection through screenings, is key in reducing the incidence and spread of STIs. By being proactive in addressing STIs, we can work towards lowering remission rates and preventing severe complications in affected individuals.
