LMAO!

Yeah...that looks like a reputable site with facts and sources. Nothing to backup what they post.

Alabama is right behind Fsu and then Auburn.

It's kind of stupid to say a school has a high volume of STD occurrence just because the county has a lot. That may have nothing to do with the university so it is a flawed logic to say they are correlated.

The fact is, Quincy has some of the most STD's of any place in the country. Not sure if it is still the case, but years ago they had the highest amount of AIDs cases of any city in the state. I would guess a lot of those individuals get tested and/or treated in Tallahassee which would make our numbers look worse than they really are.

A lot of small counties around Leon that would seek treatment in Tallahassee. Add to that a huge Community College and another large University.

Quincy use to also have one of the highest per capita incomes in the US due to the low population and millionaire tobacco farmers...SO stats don't lie, the stats guy does

I believe at one time it had the most disparity between the rich and poor in the area among the demographics making it up.

Where does this fact come from? Based on data from Florida Health and the CDC web site Quincy is nowhere near the highest in Florida much less in the country. In the last posted data (2012) Gadsden county had 511 STD cases with 7 HIV+ cases, Leon county had 3152 STD cases and 34 HIV+ cases. In that same year some other places like Miami Dade had 1106 HIV+ cases, Broward county 835 HIV+ cases, Duval county 273 HIV+, Escambia county 46 HIV +.
All that said I still think the original article about the schools with the highest STDs is bull.

I believe using that is still against the rules.

I didn't read it anywhere or research it at all so maybe "fact" was too strong of a word to use. I just remember an instructor talking about it when I was at FSU who got into a debate with a student from Quincy about it and it always stuck with me although not all the details. I'm sure it was probably a % per something and not just a raw amount given their population. It may not be correct though since I just looked up the town on wiki and it says that information was misreported over a decade ago so I'm not sure.

Not trying to call you out on it, but when I saw that it scared me and I had to go and check cause I live in Gadsden county and wanted to know myself if that was the case. I'm not exactly in Quincy but close enough out here by this great steakhouse (Nicholsons).
