Testing.com’s just released data on STD non-disclosure. You can access the full report here:
https://www.testing.com/news/
The report explores:
- How often Americans fail to disclose an STD before sex
- Why people choose not to disclosure and the consequences of non-disclosure
- Key differences by demographics, including age and gender
One finding that stands out: 1 in 10 Americans knowingly gave a partner an STD.
Other notable findings include:
- 45% of those diagnosed say they’ve had sex without disclosing their status
- Among non-disclosers, 59% say they also had unprotected sex
- 17% say a partner contracted an STD/STI from them after they didn’t disclose
- 9% admit they didn’t disclose to a spouse
- Young men are most likely to hide their positive status from partner
The insights are based on a survey of 7,895 U.S. adults. We can share the complete results and demographic breakdowns. Dr. Toni Brayer, a board-certified physician and member of Testing.com’s medical review board, is also available for comment.
