Attached you will find the STI data that you requested.  A couple of things:

1)      Gonorrhea is currently trending up here in Clark, but this is a statewide trend, and Multnomah County has seen an uptick as well.

2)      Herpes Simplex cases jump up in 2013.  This is most likely due to better/more testing, not an outbreak.

3)      In 2012-2013 there was an outbreak of Syphilis, similar to Multnomah County (Portland).  This is reflected in the incidence.  Here is an article with some of the details http://www.pqmonthly.com/multnomah-county-sees-dramatic-increase-in-syphilis-infections/12516

4)      HIV/AIDS data can be found on the Washington Department of Health Annual Communicable Disease Report.  I don’t have the 2014 data yet.

5)      I didn’t break down the age groups for Syphilis and Herpes because the Syphilis numbers are small overall, and Herpes had some consistently small numbers in specific age groups.    

PLEASE look on the left side of the page for the STI- Data that Derel provided.
