MEN: If you use this Social Media APP, you are 25% more likely to have GONORRHEA!!!

Sexually transmitted diseases infections are on the rise and researchers blame social media.

A social media experiment conducted in Southern California revels evidence suggesting the alarming rise in STDs is due to apps like Facebook, Instagram and Tinder. Social media expert Thomas Dodson says between “the pictures that they are sharing” and "constant connectivity" there's been a significant rise in sexual activity and sexting.

According to a report by the California Department of Health, gonorrhea and syphilis rates have shot up by 13 percent and 18 percent, respectively, with the largest incidents found in people ages 15 through 24. The study also showed that in the LGBT community, “Men who use smart apps such as Grindr are 25-percent more likely to be affected with gonorrhea and 37-percent with chlamydia.”

Outreach director Enrique Manjarrez of Breaking Barriers, a group which pushes for greater HIV testing among the LGBT community, says the rates are rising at such an alarming rate because of “the lack of education in talking about STDs."
