More than half of Americans with STDs were infected by cheating partners, survey finds
The study also reveals which US states have the highest STD rates
A new study has exposed the sexual health habits of some Americans.
Researchers analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau to determine how and where Americans have been contracting and spreading STIs (sexually transmitted infections), also known as STDs (sexually transmitted diseases).
Among the findings from DatingNews.com was the fact that 55% of people with an STI contracted it from a cheating partner.
Thirteen percent of the nearly 1,000 respondents said their partner has lied to them about their STI status, while 45% did not discuss testing with their partner before becoming sexually active.
Nearly one in five (18%) of respondents said they had been diagnosed with an STI, with the most common diagnosis, chlamydia, making up 36% of the cases.
