These STDs are no picnic. Some are painful and burn. Some you will have for the rest of your life. And most importantly some will kill you.

The Top 10 Cities with the highest STD cases are:

  1. Jackson, Mississippi
  2. Baltimore, Maryland
  3. San Francisco, California
  4. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
  5. Washington, DC
  6. Augusta, Georgia
  7. New York, New York
  8. Montgomery, Alabama
  9. Knoxville, Tennessee
  10. Fayetteville, North Carolina

 The study noted that the three smallest cities on that list Augusta, Killeen, and Shreveport all have one thing in common. They're home to a large military base.
