Scary Stats
- Every year 3 million teens – about 1 in 4 sexually active teens – get a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD).
- In the U.S., 3 out of every 4 reported cases of gonorrhea were among younger people ages 15 to 29 years. The highest rates of infection are found in 15-to 19 year old females and 20-to 24- year-old males.
- Chlamydia is so common that, by age 30, 50 percent of sexually active females have evidence that they have had chlamydia.
- Some studies show that up to 15 percent of sexually active teenage women are infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV), many with the type of HPV that is linked to cervical cancer.
- Once cured, STD's can be contracted again.
