STDs on the rise in Wyoming
By Bob Beck
It’s Sexually Transmitted Disease awareness month and in Wyoming this is a serious issue. Statistics show that STDs in the state are on the rise. A number of health care organizations are trying to get sexually active people tested for STDs and to check their HIV status. Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains is engaged in a campaign called GYT – get yourself tested. Melody Meanor is the Manager of Planned Parenthood’s Casper Health Center. She says the sharp increase in STD’s in Wyoming is alarming.
