HOW could you know for sure? Why would it matter? Who would have these statistics as hard facts? People live here full time and part time. People consult doctors on campus and off campus or not at all.
If you are a person having sex with multiple partners than you should not have unprotected sex. If you are concerned about this hurting your property values, I doubt it would. If you had the statistics in hand to show your friends who believe that we have a high rate of people affected with STD's that we DON'T, they probably will not take it seriously.
Stuff like this often is perpetuated by people who are just plain jealous that they don't live here.
When a good part of the younger world think of older people as not enjoying all qualities of a healthy, fulfilling life, I think this rumor is kind of ...better than them thinking that sexual activity comes to a screeching halt and stops being part of life as we age. What single people do is their own business. Most of us live in relationships of long standing and we are faithful to those relationships.
