According to recent data, the rate of reported cases of chancroids in the U.S. has dropped to zero in recent years. In 1950 there were 3.3 cases of chancroids per 100,000 population. Chancroids are a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a bacterium and classified by genital ulcers.
Some STIs are preventable through vaccination and condoms. A survey from 2022 indicated that around 65 percent of U.S. female teenagers were up to date on their human papillomavirus vaccinations. Condoms, while known for their effectiveness in preventing sexually transmitted infections, are not used as frequently as public health officials would like. For example, a survey from 2021 found that only 27 percent of men in the United States said they used protection every single time they have sex with a new partner.
