### Comment:
I know why I got them, I got fucked by chinese meme stocks.. but on a more serious note I think people are dismissing the seriousness of the matter, I mean alot of STDs are treatable and not lifelong plus the article said HIV drugs are becoming more effective so it kinda turns down the fear factor a bit. Also, we live in a Tinder age so lots of casual hookups

### REPLY:
It's because nobody goes to the doctor to get a basic god damn checkup because it easily costs hundreds of dollars just for a doctor to say 'yep, everything's good' or 'yep, don't ever fuck again'. 
  
 It's not a stretch of the imagination to think that STD numbers would go down significantly if people weren't scared away from doctors by the cost.
