The most prevalent STD in women is Chlamydia trachomatis, followed by Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The majority of these new diagnoses (1.6 million) were cases of chlamydia, according to the annual Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance Report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As per the report, experts have warned that a huge number of the population is at risk of being infected with human papilloma virus (HPV).
The findings mark the first time a vaccine has shown any protection against gonorrhea and point to new avenues in the search for a specific vaccine to stop the global spread of 'super-gonorrhoea'.
