According to a new government report, one in four U.S. teenage girls have had a sexually transmitted disease. Data was collected conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease and Prevention, who collected data from 838 teens girls, ages 14 to 19.
Dr. Sami L. Gottlieb, from the division of sexually transmitted disease prevention at the U.S. Centers for Disease and Prevention, said of the findings: ”The high burden of STDs among teen girls reminds us that we can’t ignore this.”
“Sexual health is an important part of the overall health and well-being of teenagers,” Gottlieb added. “For too long, we as a nation have been far too squeamish about sexual health issues for teens, but we owe it to our kids to get over it.”
“The vast majority of people have sex for the first time during their teenage years, so we need them to be prepared,” she said.
HPV, which can cause cervical cancer in women, was the most common infection among the sample data, with 18.3 percent. The second most common was chlamydia, which can cause vaginal bleeding and discharge, and complications with pregnancy.
And in case you think these girls are hooking it up in the red-light district, think again. Nineteen percent of the teens developed an STD during the year after their first sexual encounter with only one sex partner. That’s right, if “Kids” has taught us anything, one time is all it takes.
According to an annual federal report, teen girls ages 15 to 19 are the largest group with chlamydia and gonorrhea in 2008, accounting for 409,531 of the 1.5 million Americans with said STDs. Women ages 20 to 24 are the second largest group.
I find these results frightening as a 26-year-old sexually active female. I’ve been meaning to get tested for a while now, but keep putting it off because I’m broke, as I’m sure most of us are during these economic hard times. Still, that is no excuse for you or I.
I think sometimes people forget just what it means to have an STD. It’s not just a case of the itches; STDs can lead to all kinds of cancers and some can make it especially painful for women to have sex. Here’s another thing to consider, condoms don’t always protect against STDs.
We’ve been taught as a society that sex is safe so long as it’s wrap up with a Trojan Her Pleasure Ecstasy condom, but the truth is a person can still get an STD while wearing one. It’s as simple as your nether regions (such as thighs) touching.
I’m not saying don’t fuck, nor am I saying wait until you get married, but I strongly advise having sex with a partner you know, preferably one who is willing to get tested, instead of just picking up some random person at a bar and taking them home with you. Your cock and vagina will thank you for your consideration.
