In Monday’s issue, the article on STDs gave statistics of various cases of STDs on campus.
These statistics are not reported cases but are the number of screenings that have been done to test for the various STDs.
It is unknown if the STD infection rate is increasing because an analysis of that information is not currently available.
The number of screenings, however, is increasing due to increased education in STD awareness, said Amy Kaplan, ETSU’s student health director. Also, some of the screenings for STDs are routine with a pap smear, she said.
We regret the error.
