STDs on the rise with Florida seniors
Who says you can’t have an active sex life in your senior years? Well, nobody but STD’s on the rise with the senior set tells me that it’s time to remind them of some of the precautions they need to take no matter what age they are.
News flash: old people still like to bone. Unsurprisingly, as people who came of age in the wild child, free love era of the ’60s and early ’70s start to near their golden years the rates of new STD infections amongst the old is skyrocketing. In fact, cases of chlamydia and syphilis amongst those 55 or older have rocketed 60 percent since 2005 in South Florida.
The report comes from The Orlando Sentinel, which says that the average rate for increases in those diseases amongst those at or nearing retirement age was up 43 percent nationally. In areas with large retirement populations, like South Florida, that number was even higher.
