      I’m curious to see how this correlates with the per capita use of PrEP treatment in each state among those who engage in risky sex.

    2. I’m surprised. Nebraska normally has one of the higher STD rates in the country.

      This is the first map I’ve seen where the worst states isn’t either Mississippi or Alabama.

    4. I like how you labeled the key with the states/district that apply to the rarest categories. It solves the confusion of scanning the map looking for which states are at the extreme. I don’t think it scales very well, e.g. if you had 12 states in the top two categories it would be cluttered, but for this visualization it’s very helpful.

    5. States with poor education will always have more issues like this. The states that rank worst in education are almost exclusively red states. It’s not at all surprising that Louisiana, Georgia, and Florida are the worst on this map.

      EDIT: I didn’t notice DC. I think my point still stands, though. The south is pretty badly affected.

    6. Keep in mind, this is diagnoses. It is not the same as actual cases, and diseases, especially „shameful“ ones, are massively underreported and underdiagnosed in every state of the US.
