The report's author is emergency physician and Xavier University associate professor Eddie Hooker. He says STDs are a "mini-epidemic" and "horrible problem" that people don't like to discuss.
Hooker and Cincinnati health officials say there is a lack of money and manpower to keep up with the problem.
The report gauging Cincinnati-area health was released Monday and did have some positive news: deaths from heart disease, cancer and stroke are all decreasing in the region.
Xavier, the United Way and a health collaborative compiled the information.
