Maine Sixth Nationally In Sexual Health Survey
A new study of America's sexual health finds Maine in sixth-place nationally based on such measures as wellness, human rights and sexual expression.
The new study from New Hampshire researcher Martin Downs shows that Maine leads the nation in areas such as state laws related to abortion, sex education and a lack of discrimination based on sexual orientation. The state's worst ranking, 38th, came in the area of HIV testing, with a low percentage of those age 18-64 saying they've never taken one. New England did very well on the study, with Vermont first, Connecticut second and New Hampshire third.
