Why are STDs so common with LGBT behavior?

Question

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) have been rising among gay and bisexual men, with increases in syphilis being seen across the country. In 2014, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men accounted for 83% of primary and secondary syphilis cases where sex of sex partner was known in the United States. Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men often get other STDs, including chlamydia and gonorrhea infections. HPV (Human papillomavirus), the most common STD in the United States, is also a concern for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. Some types of HPV can cause genital and anal warts and some can lead to the development of anal and oral cancers. Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men are 17 times more likely to get anal cancer than heterosexual men. Men who are HIV-positive are even more likely than those who do not have HIV to get anal cancer - https://www.cdc.gov/msmhealth/STD.htm

The United States has the highest STD rates in the developed world. The United States has the highest gonorrhea rate of 124 per 100,000 people and the third-highest rate for chlamydia of 479 per 100,000 people. STD rates are increasing in the United States for many reasons, including decreased condom use amongst vulnerable groups such as young people and gay and bisexual men. Additionally, state and local programs have experienced budget cuts, resulting in clinic closures, decreased screenings and care, and reduced patient follow-up.

It is though. Try learn to read with understanding. The USA has the highest STD rates and people don't use condoms, state and local programs have experienced budget cuts, resulting in clinic closures, decreased screenings and care, and reduced patient follow-up. This isn't rocket science. It's just like corona and not using masks.

I don't think they use protection much for oral or anal. That's why. Protection is more associated with actually going in the vagina. It happens with straight sex too. guys won't put on a condom for anal really. Never heard a teen ever think about putting a condom in a blowjob lmao. And this just happens more i guess due to when gay they think about it even less. But either way Stds is on the rise for everyone.

Less so now than they used to be. But the bottom line is that people often ignore protection when they don't have to worry about pregnancy.

This is a rhetorical question. You know the answer... you are just trying to express your bias against LGBT people and make your homophobia publicly known.
