What are the top most common STDs for college students?

What are the top most common STDs for college students?I am doing a HEALTH FAIR for other college students and my group decided to do the "basic ideas" for the top three STDs on campuses. Can you anme a few that effect both males and females alike?

Fall
herpes, syphilis, hiv

I don't believe
chlamydia trachomatis
gonorrhoea
herpes simplex 1 and 2

(HIV, Hep B, syphilis are rarer)

all affect males and females, they can be asymptomatic (not cause symptoms) or be uncomfortable
all increase the chance of catching HIV although this is rarer
all cause hidden damage to women, chlamydia and gonorrhoea especially interfere with the fallopian tubes and later in life a woman might find it hard to get pregnant
all are effectively stopped with a condom but NOT the pill

pne52
herpes affects 1 in 4 people. HPV is also very common

amandarez73
trichomoniasis (7.4 million each year) is the most common STD in the US - and it is one that slips under the radar a lot

gonorrhea (700,000 each year)
chlamydia (1 million each year)
