According to the data, STD cases are more commonly found in Mississippi, as Hinds County, Mississippi has more cases of STDs than any other county in the United States, with 2,253.2 cases per 100,000 state residents. Not only that, but Mississippi leads the country in terms of the most STD cases by state as well, with 1,291.4 per 100,000 state residents.
