Partly, but overall it is an increase of existing fruit from the sexual rebellion/revolution of the Left, promoted by the government:
In 2016 the rate of people living with HIV per 100,000 population was 368, with the death rate being 6. Male-to-male sexual contact made up 82.4% of HIV infections among males in 2017, while heterosexual contact made up 85.7% of HIV infections among females. The rate of Black males living with an HIV diagnosis is 5.6 times that of White males. The rate of Black females living with an HIV diagnosis is 17.6 times that of White females. The rate of Hispanic/Latino males living with an HIV diagnosis is 2.5 times that of White males. The rate of Hispanic/Latina females living with an HIV diagnosis is 4.2 times that of White females. (https://aidsvu.org/local-data/united-states)
The South has the highest number of people living with HIV, but if population size is taken into account, the Northeast has the highest rate of people living with HIV.
Asian female adults and adolescents had the largest percentage (93%) of diagnoses of HIV infection attributed to heterosexual contact, followed by Black/African American (91%), and Hispanic/Latino (87%) female adults and adolescents. In 2019, Black/African American children made up approximately 14% of the population of children but accounted for 57% of diagnoses of HIV infection among children. (https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/library/reports/hiv-surveillance/vol-32/content/special-focus-profiles.html)
Black/African American persons, males accounted for 76% of HIV infections, most of which (82%) were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact. (P. 6)
Worldwide, "In 2015, according to the progress reports on the global AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) response, the highest prevalence rates of HIV infection among MSM were as follows: 19% in central and western Africa; 15% in southern and eastern Africa; 12% in Latin America; 11% in the Asia-Pacific region; and 8% in central and western Europe and North America."

In 2021 the CDC estimated that 1 in 5 people in the U.S. have a sexually transmitted infection and at a cost to the U.S. healthcare system of billions of dollars annually. (https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/p0125-sexualy-transmitted-infection.html)
(Note that in dealing with comparative statics as is done here, not only is the rate or percentage more revealing than simply the number of cases, but also relevant aspects of the historical context.
For instance, while the rate of cases of syphilis was actually higher in the 1940's (especially) and overall (with exceptions) decreasing until 2006 when it began an overall steady increase, the historical context of the former included aspects such as increased testing and diagnosis, soldiers returning from war, but with increased effective treatment with penicillin in the 1940s onward leading to a large decrease in transmission, and overall steady decrease in infection rates despite the increased % of teens to middle ages from the 60's to mid 80s. Which, after a brief increase in 1987 to 1992, saw an overall steady and significant decrease until about 2012 (but nowhere close to the 1940's). After which an overall steady rise occurred, leading to a rate of 53.2, which has not been seen since 1919 and 1966.
In contrast, gonorrhea saw unprecedented high rates from 1970 to 1990 when they began to overall steadily fall to a rate of 98.1 in 2009, only to rise to 214, not seen since 1991. (https://www.cdc.gov/std/statistics/2021/tables/1.htm) All of which is despite an increasingly aged population and better testing and treatment.)
Half of all sexually active people will get an STD by the time they reach 25. (https://medalerthelp.org/blog/std-statistics/)
Also relevant, by 2021 the percentage of 18-24-year-olds who were married was 5% for men and 8% for women. with more cohabitating (fornicating) than were married (https://www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resources/data/family-profiles/brown-manning-relationship-status-trends-age-gender-fp-21-25.html)
About half (54%) of adolescents age 15-19 have had some type of sexual experience. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590151621000113?via%3Dihub)
Never-married adults report engaging in sexual relations approx. 14 times per year more than married adults. (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/314273096_Declines_in_Sexual_Frequency_among_American_Adults_1989-2014)
Single Americans over 45 engage in sexual relations more than married ones. (https://www.aarp.org/relationships/love-sex/info-05-2010/2009-aarp-sex-survey.html
By 2008 a CDC study estimated that one in four (26 percent) young women between the ages of 14 and 19 in the United States -- or 3.2 million teenage girls -- was infected with at least one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, and trichomoniasis). (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080312084645.htm) And note that only 33%of women even between age 20-34 are married.
In 2017 it was estimated that about 45 percent of U.S. men and women were infected with the cancer-causing human papillomavirus (HPV sexually transmitted disease - the most common sexually transmitted disease among men and women in the United States. Among women, the prevalence of HPV infection drops to about 22 percent as they age, but it remains high among men. (https://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/hpv-genital-warts/news/20170119/nearly-half-of-us-men-infected-with-hpv-study-finds) the P&S syphilis rate has increased almost every year since 2001. This rise in the rate of reported P&S syphilis has been primarily attributable to increased cases among men and, specifically, among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM). MSM account for the majority of P&S syphilis cases and estimated rates are substantially higher among MSM compared with women or men who have sex with women only (MSW). 5 The number of cases among MSM has continued to increase, but within the last five years, cases among MSW and women have increased substantially as well. The increase in syphilis among women is of particular concern because it is associated with a striking and concurrent increase in congenital syphilis.
