One In Four Teenage Girls In U.S. Has Sexually Transmitted Disease, CDC Study Shows

something to keep in mind next time you're trolling for pussy at a college bar.

also too bad for the unfortunate girls who's born-again parents think HPV vaccinations are evil.

Soon enough there will be multiple correct answers to health & sex ed tests:

1) How is the HIV virus transmitted?
a) Through direct sexual contact, especially without protection
b) From letting a dirty woman cry on you
c) It is but one form of God's wrath which he sends upon sinners and fornicators, that they may learn the evil of their ways


choose two.

If they took clamidia out, I wonder what the numbers would be.

Clamidia is very common. I don't think they use to mention it because it took a special test to find and there were often no visable symptons. In addition, they discovered most young women/men's immune systems are able to successfully kill it without any intervention at all.

Older adults need to worry about it because it doesn't go away and seems to be a potential cause of cervical cancer in women. I don't know what the long term effects, if any, on men would be.

Funny how that post appears after Wabbits. Funny.

They really regulate how sex ed is taught nowadays...it used to be they'd make me put a 'question box' in the room that kids could drop anonymous questions off in to be answered (so long as they weren't about stuff like autoerotic asphyxiation, etc.) Now all I am allowed to teach is a 2 day district-provided unit on AIDS. I got a 'talking to' the other day after a genetics lecture wherein I jokingly drew smiley faces on the sperm cells I drew on the whiteboard while discussing how meiosis and fertilization increase genetic diversity. Apparently the administrator who heard about this thought it meant I was promoting teenage sex. Its ridiculous.

Wow tnf. I don't know how you cope with it, really.

[Lieutenant Dan]

1 in 4?

That seems too high.

[tnf]

[Big Kahuna Burger]

[Grandpa Stu]

how treatable are STDs in general? i ask because back when i was high school they drilled into our minds how nasty herpes was and then basically said that all STDs are like that. i realize they blew things way out of proportion but by how much?

[tnf]

Depends completely on the STD.

[Canidae]

Sex ed is something that is unique to each individual but those that appear as dropouts are usually everything but.

You seem to have your chlamydia and hpv mixed up. Chlamydia causes pelvic inflammatory disease and is a major cause of infertility and increases risk of ectopic pregnancy. It's also often acquired at the same time as gonorrhoea. One major problem is that it's often wrongly diagnosed in young women and underdiagnosed in men. It's a much bigger problem than you're making out.

Yep, I got them mixed up. My apologies.

Can you get STDz while sitting on the toilet?

[Geebs]

Can you get STDz while sitting on the toilet?

Only if fucking or shooting up on it.

[scared?]

lol safe sex...

there are quite a few that are really bad. obviously HIV, hepatitis b, etc are bad. herpes is still incurable. nobody wants warts on their junk. syphilis is cured with penicillin. gonorrhea, chlamydia and anything else bacterial are pretty treatable.

[scared?]

lol crabs...

haha... i'd give you a talkin' to for promoting preformationism by putting a homunculus in your sperm cells.

Scabies sound nasty too.

[GONNAFISTYA]

But can they carry a tune?

[R00k]

Scabies aren't necessarily sexually transmitted -- aren't they just some kind of full-body lice or something?
