Take your shy son to CR to lose his virginity it might be safer than the US.
40-50% of all US sexually active girls have an STD. This statistic will obviously soon transfer to the 20-35 age group in the US and probably be higher. Keep in mind these statistics are always underreported and underscreened due to the nature of peoples shame. Non pros are every bit as dangerous! Stick a Jimmy on it.


1 in 4 teen girls has sexually transmitted disease



CHICAGO - At least one in four teenage girls nationwide has a sexually transmitted disease, or more than 3 million teens, according to the first study of its kind in this age group.

A virus that causes cervical cancer is by far the most common sexually transmitted infection in teen girls aged 14 to 19, while the highest overall prevalence is among black girls — nearly half the blacks studied had at least one STD. That rate compared with 20 percent among both whites and Mexican-American teens, the study from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.

About half of the girls acknowledged ever having sex; among them, the rate was 40 percent. While some teens define sex as only intercourse, other types of intimate behavior including oral sex can spread some infections.

For many, the numbers likely seem “overwhelming because you’re talking about nearly half of the sexually experienced teens at any one time having evidence of an STD,” said Dr. Margaret Blythe, an adolescent medicine specialist at Indiana University School of Medicine and head of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ committee on adolescence.

But the study highlights what many doctors who treat teens see every day, Blythe said.

Dr. John Douglas, director of the CDC’s division of STD prevention, said the results are the first to examine the combined national prevalence of common sexually transmitted diseases among adolescent girls. He said the data, from 2003-04, likely reflect current rates of infection.

“High STD rates among young women, particularly African-American young women, are clear signs that we must continue developing ways to reach those most at risk,” Douglas said.

The CDC’s Dr. Kevin Fenton said given that STDs can cause infertility and cervical cancer in women, “screening, vaccination and other prevention strategies for sexually active women are among our highest public health priorities.”

HPV most common
The study by CDC researcher Dr. Sara Forhan is an analysis of nationally representative data on 838 girls who participated in a 2003-04 government health survey. Teens were tested for four infections: human papillomavirus, or HPV, which can cause cervical cancer and affected 18 percent of girls studied; chlamydia, which affected 4 percent; trichomoniasis, 2.5 percent; and herpes simplex virus, 2 percent.

Blythe said the results are similar to previous studies examining rates of those diseases individually.

The results were prepared for release Tuesday at a CDC conference in Chicago on preventing sexually transmitted diseases.

HPV can cause genital warts but often has no symptoms. A vaccine targeting several HPV strains recently became available, but Douglas said it likely has not yet had much impact on HPV prevalence rates in teen girls.

Chlamydia and trichomoniasis can be treated with antibiotics. The CDC recommends annual chlamydia screening for all sexually active women under age 25. It also recommends the three-dose HPV vaccine for girls aged 11-12 years, and catch-up shots for females aged 13 to 26.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has similar recommendations.

Douglas said screening tests are underused in part because many teens don’t think they’re at risk, but also, some doctors mistakenly think, ’“Sexually transmitted diseases don’t happen to the kinds of patients I see.”’

Blythe said some doctors also are reluctant to discuss STDs with teen patients or offer screening because of confidentiality concerns, knowing parents would have to be told of the results.

The American Academy of Pediatrics supports confidential teen screening, she said.


At least you know a puta gets her oil checked and changed regularly by the doctor because keeping the engine clean and preventative maintenence is her livelihood.... and she doesnt have the U.S.puritanical shame of being reticent or worse absent with her doctor about possible illnesses. So dont be shy bring your son down to CR its safer and he will wise up so he wont go sterile from some disease his US innocent girlfriend has a 50% chance of giving him.
50% WTF thats an epidemic....its the puritanical fanatics creating shame and hindering education and also the US puritanical denial that is putting our future generations at risk

Not surprising at all. At least a third of my gringa friends have told me they have HPV or some other STD. And those are just the ones that told me. Considering how easily it is transmitted, odds are pretty high that most of the guys on this board have it too, it is just not active. For most people with HPV, the virus remains dormant.

HPV is so prevalent that when my friend asked her doctor how to handle future boyfriends, she was told not to even bother telling a future sex partner, since it was so common. These girls aren't putas, or lower class, or even very sexually active. For the most part, they are upper-middle class, college educated, white women. Most of them picked it up in high-school or college. This is one of the reasons they want to vaccinate girls for this by age 11-12, IIRC.

Good points Dante,
Still that HPV thing can make you go sterile pretty scary stuff if they catch it that young seems like a lot more chance of sterility but Im no doctor.

I thought the best part of the study was that 1/2 of the girls who had an STD said they were not sexually active.
