No: No. Overall, there's about 20 million new STD infections in the US every year. They range from HPV, that infects most people who are sexually active (80% plus by age 50 yr) down to HIV which causes about 45,000 new infections per yr in the US. Chlamydia, the most common bacterial STD causes at least 3 million infections per yr in the US.
