Yes, I read that. CDC counts each infection.

And that makes the > 110 million number pretty useless.

There is no way we know how often a certain infection recur in the same person.

think, for a moment, about the cases of std's that are not reported....the CDC is counting only those that it knows to exist.....

If a person has herpese AND HPV AND genital warts, he or she SHOULD be counted 3 times. You may not be at risk of one or another but the potential for the spread of disease is still there. Again, why are we doing background checks on gun owners yet NO LONGER REGISTERING those who have communicable diseases?
