This study examines the relationship between demographics, behavioral factors, risk perceptions, and STDs in a U.S. general population. Data from 28,957 respondents with at least one sex partner 12 months prior to the survey completed the Sexual Behavior Module, as part of each state's annual BRFSS survey. Multiple sex partners, ethnicity and age were predictive of receiving treatment for an STD. Respondents who admitted driving while intoxicated and those with high HIV-risk perceptions were also more likely to report receiving treatment for an STD. Findings support the broadening of STD prevention targets, and the importance of highlighting the link between alcohol and STDs during STD and alcohol prevention or treatment visits.
