| Utah man charged with giving STD to teenage girl - KSL.com Posted: 29 Feb 2020 02:05 PM PST  ROOSEVELT — A 25-year-old man faces two criminal charges after police say he had sex with a teenage girl and gave her a sexually transmitted disease. Jaden Cecil Priebe, of Roosevelt, was charged Friday in 8th District Court with two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, a third-degree felony, and willful introduction of a communicable disease, a class A misdemeanor. In February, Roosevelt police received a report of a 17-year-old who had sexual relations with Priebe. The victim notified police the same day she was informed by a doctor that she had tested positive for type 2 herpes "and would have this the rest of her life," according to charging documents. Priebe had told others he had an STD but did not tell the girl, according to the charges. A summons was issued for Priebe on Friday to appear in court at a later date. × More stories you may be interested in |
| FSU students reside in 14th highest STD rate city - Tallahassee.com Posted: 13 Feb 2020 12:00 AM PST
Tallahassee has the 14th highest rate of sexually transmitted diseases the nation and the highest in Florida, according to a report based on Centers for Disease Control data. The Surveillance Statistics report notes that upwards of 2.4 million combined cases of STDs were reported in 2018. Of those cases, the CDC's report covered rates of chlamydia and Gonorrhea among males and females ages 15-24. Of those that were reported, the demographic boasted a total of 6,487 combined cases in Florida alone. Of those cases, the Florida Department of Health Five Year Bacterial STD Report indicates that in comparison to the rest of Florida, Leon County's annual rates of STDs are statistically significant. In contrast, Leon County boasts a rate of 861.8 cases per 100,000 Population, while state-wide rates rest at 425.3 as of 2006. Now, Leon County's rate is 1,601.9 versus the state-wide rate of 708.8 in 2018. Although the report does not directly correlate the STD cases to the Tallahassee college student population, the overlap of the age group to the population of students in the city cannot be dismissed as simply a coincidence. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, the total enrollment of students in higher education institutions within Tallahassee ranges around 67 thousand as of 2018. This new ranking sparks potential for possible correlations to be made between FSU's prominence in the college town and the rate of STDs. With the prevalence of STDs in Tallahassee, the local variety has developed a colloquial term: the Seminole. The CDC also notes that the rise in STD rates is linked to drug use, poverty, stigma, decreased condom use in young people, and cuts to STD programs at the state and local level. According to Florida State University Health Services, a Spring 2019 FSU American College Health Association National College Health Assessment (NCHA-ACHA) report stated that 70% of enrolled undergraduate students have received information from the school regarding STI prevention. Additionally, University Health Services qualifies FSU's sexual health education as receiving information through social media messaging, student organization rapid HIV testing events, Neighborhood Medical Center and the Department of Health campus community testing events, and "comprehensive sexual health education through presentations." Despite the majority of undergraduate students at FSU coming into contact with STD prevention information, students' risks persist as only about 60% of the demographic used contraception the last time they had vaginal intercourse. In response to the rise in Tallahassee's STD rates, the Florida State University Center for Health Advocacy & Wellness (CHAW) provided a statement:
According to the FSU University Health Services, only about 25% of undergraduate students have been tested for HIV in 2017. While students may use protection, they still run the risk of becoming infected with an STD through condom misuse, a lack of complete protection against all STDs from condom/dental dam usage, or unprotected oral sex. Should students encounter an individual with an STD or experience symptoms, the FSU Health and Wellness Center provides free HIV testing and STD testing. Appointments can be made online for HIV screening. The University Health Services website offers a map of where to find free condoms as well. If students prefer a more discreet option, at-home STD tests are commercially made and available for purchase.
