The rise in STDs pertains to retirement communities in general, probably due to recent medical advances for both men and women which can dramatically increase the lengths of their sexually active lives. The Villages, unfortunately, got singled out by an Orlando reporter in 2006 from an aside comment made by a gynecologist, Dr. Colleen McQuade, who was surprised to find folks in the Villages were experiencing STD issues in significant numbers, given their ages. She said something to the effect she was surprised that she was seeing more STDs in The Villages than she had seen in Miami.
