Well, they earned it: Sexually transmitted infections increasing in the military

Cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis have increased significantly across the military over the past eight years, a study found.

Black service members, women, and enlisted personnel with lower levels of education are most at risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections, according to the study published in the March edition of the Medical Surveillance Monthly Report, a peer-reviewed military health journal.

The study analyzed administrative data and reports from all four branches of the military to provide a comprehensive picture of STIs between 2012 and 2020, using medical and diagnostic codes to identify instances of the five most common STIs — chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes and human papillomavirus, or HPV.

Patterns in STI frequency mirrored those of the civilian population, but rates of infection in the military were in many cases disproportionately higher.

Of the four branches, the Army had the highest rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea and genital herpes. The Navy had the highest rates of syphilis, and the Air Force had the highest rates of HPV.
