I'm curious whether rates of HIV are similarly affected. The article doesn't mention it. Here's one statistic I found from our government:

In 2019, 36,801 people received an HIV diagnosis in the U.S. and 6 dependent areas—an overall 9% decrease compared with 2015.

So HIV rates are on the decline despite all other STD rates being through the roof. This gives credence to the idea that HIV is not the primary cause of AIDS.

Close everything, make it difficult to travel and do things, and hey, people fuck more. Go figure.

I am most curious about the herp when compared to shingles. Herp will be a latent virus flaring up from time to time. Shingles is a latent virus that usually comes on once.

Today vaxtards are learning about permanent shingles coming on and never going away. How long before we see superherpies which also never lets up on vaxtards?

This article is about new diagnoses, so it won't say, but enquiring minds want to know. Also HPV.
