Are their racial disparities against certain stds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately, yes: In the United States, african americans are disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted diseases such as hiv, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. These disparities are likely related to the lack of access to high quality health care in some communities.
