Multiple partners with no protection, duh.

[@donttrip4069]

People are nasty

[@WanderingRationalist]

Stay monogamous. Stop sharing needles. Know your status. Wrap it up. Ask your partner about their sexual history.

[@karenk2409]

You're SO messing with everyone's FREEDOM! Waaagh! The horrific and indefensible truth about STDs like syphilis and AIDS is that infected people infect their innocent spouses, partners, and children. For the sake of "I want what I want when I want it" and zero compassion. Just evil.

[@karenk2409]

Congenital syphilis should be a crime. Poor babies.

[@cleopatra1633]

So they can't explain this cases? Is there really no accountability? Same with monkey pox, it is clear where it is the biggest problem. Being promicuous and irresponsible is not normal behaviour. I only feel sad for the innocent children.

[@hopelove1595]

Exactly 💯. It's immoral, reckless and irresponsible behaviors and practices.

[@banzy5387]

What tha? 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@morganmadison366]

Medicaid pays for care. Homeless people usually qualify for Medicaid. California's County Health Clinics also provide free or low-cost care.
Why?
Addiction and prostitution.

yet another reason to stay clear of that cluster of a state

[@propblast82nd]

Reminds me of The Beach Boys song , California Girls 😮

[@leerhodes6192]

Interesting demographics

[@sandiecalvert]

LET"S ALL GO MONK/NUN TO AVOID THIS AFFLICTION

[@cleopatra1633]

Or dont use drugs, have protected sex and stop being promiscuous and behave decent.

[@temureviewer33]

If someone's goo goo don't look right don't have sex

[@TashaS-xz2wd]

In Texas too I wonder if the vaccine helped with this

[@alpal87]
