Abstract
The rate of sexually transmitted infections in Knox County is getting higher and higher, and the age of those afflicted by them is getting lower and lower, according to the Knox County Health Department - In 2005, 81% of Knox County residents diagnosed with Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis were between the ages of 15 and 24. People of all ages afflicted with those infections in 2005 accounted for more than half a percent of Knox County's population, up from .43% two years before.
According to Patty Russell, Communicable Disease Coordinator at the Knox County Health Department, the rise in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) isn't as bad as it looks on paper, although she does admit that "it's creeping up every year." Russell attributes part of the increase to a new testing process undertaken by the department; until recently, partners of STI-positive patients would get treatment for infections without being tested for them themselves. Now that these people are being tested before they're given treatment, the statistics count them as new cases.
