When it comes to sexually transmitted diseases, Newark is the runner-up to Detroit as the nation's capital, Men's Health reports in its latest issue.

The magazine bases the ranking primarily on gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia data gathered in 2002 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
