CHARLOTTE, NC. In Mecklenburg County, Sexually Transmitted Infections, like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, increased by roughly 13% from January 2020 to November 2020, according to the county health department. But during a CDC STD prevention conference, experts said STI’s took a downturn nationwide in 2020. Most likely because testing for STIs was made difficult by the pandemic. Meaning there’s a likelihood STIs are going undetected.
WCCB Charlotte’s Alexandra Elich asked the county health department why Mecklenburg’s numbers are up when the rest of the country’s are down. We are waiting on a response.
Elizabeth Finley with Shift NC says young people in our state are having a harder time accessing STI tests.
