Alabama is another state which needs to do more to protect its citizens from STDs, and it seems that putting up billboards has not really helped bring down the rate. In fact, Alabama is home to Montgomery, which in 2013, had the highest STD rates in the entire nation! The state has recently undertaken to provide vaccinations for various possible STDs, while promoting monogamy and condoms in order to reduce the risk of STDs.
