WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. syphilis rates rose for a seventh year in 2007, driven by gay and bisexual men, while chlamydia reached record numbers and gonorrhea remained at alarming levels -- especially among blacks, health officials said on Tuesday.

Blacks make up 12 percent of the U.S. population, but account for about 70 percent of gonorrhea cases and almost half of chlamydia and syphilis cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

Black women ages 15 to 19 have the highest rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea, and gonorrhea rates for blacks overall were 19 times higher than for whites, the CDC said.

Dr. John Douglas, who heads the CDC's division of sexually transmitted disease, or STD, prevention, said overall syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea rates are unacceptably high. Cases of these three STDs are reported by U.S. states to the CDC...............snip

So are you saying you don't like blacks?

Conveniently snipped before the next paragraph which clearly states

Douglas said the figures may reflect that more people

are being diagnosed rather than a rise in infections.

It doesn't say anywhere if private practice physicians are REQUIRED to report

diagnosis of the 3 STDs in the study.

Hey Dude, don't blame me, it's the FBI and CIA behind these things... just like CRACK and AIDS.
