HALF OF TEEN GIRLS INFECTED WITH STDS WITHIN TWO YEARS OF HAVING SEX

Within 2 years of having sex for the first time, half of teenage girls may be infected with at least one of three common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), according to results of a new study. Often, those girls are infected by the age of 15.

Researchers followed 386 urban adolescent girls aged 14 to 17 for up to 8 years. Within 2 years of becoming sexually active, half of the girls were infected with at least one of three common sexually transmitted organisms: Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or Trichomonas vaginalis — the organisms that cause chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis, respectively.

The researchers found that a quarter of the women had acquired their first STD by age 15, most often Chlamydia.

"Repeated infections were very common," study investigator Dr. Wanzhu Tu, of Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis told Reuters Health by email. "Within 4 to 6 months (depending on the organism) after treatment of the previous infection, a quarter of the women were re-infected with the same organism."

Tu said young women are at risk of STDs as soon as they become sexually active, but recommendations are lacking about when it is appropriate to begin screening.

"These young women are vulnerable to STDs, but because of their younger age, they may not be perceived by health care providers as having STD risk, and thus are not screened in a timely manner."

The current findings, Tu said, highlight the importance of early STD screening and treatment. "For urban adolescent women, STD screening (especially for chlamydia) should begin within 1 year after first intercourse and infected individuals should be retested frequently, preferably every 3 to 4 months," the researcher said.

"To my knowledge, this study provides the first data on the timing of the initial STD and subsequent STDs following the onset of sexual activity in urban adolescent women," Tu added.

The study findings appear in the latest issue of Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, published by the American Medical Association.

A companion paper in the journal details a program that proved successful in curbing risky sexual behavior among 15- to 21-year-old African American adolescent girls and young women.

The participants, all of whom where visiting a sexual health clinic in Atlanta, took part in two group counseling sessions and received telephone support and vouchers to give to their partners to encourage them to get tested and treated for STDs.

This study is "exciting" for several reasons, Dr. Bonita Stanton from Wayne State University in Detroit wrote in a commentary. First, the program reduced first and recurrent chlamydia infections and led to higher rates of self-reported condom use, she points out.

Second, it got the teen girls cut back on douching, which has been linked to increased risk of STDs.

But perhaps "most intriguing," Stanton wrote, is that the young adolescent girls who participated in the program were able to convince their sexual partners to get tested for STDs.

Thats a shame, these days teenage girls change boyfriends like socks.

Most the guys that these sluts screw around with aren't boyfriends.

Current sex ed doesn't work.

Current sex ed doesn't work.

I remember when I was in junior high school a teacher telling us how we needed sex ed because of the number of young girls getting pregnant.  This was back in the late 1960s.  Well we have had sex ed since then and I don't think fewer girls are getting pregnant (Sarcasm on).

Current sex ed doesn't work.

Even though it doesn't work now though I think it needs to be reformed rather than dropped though.

The fact of the matter is young women are encouraged on many different fronts, to sleep around.  In this day and age, any young girl that doesn't "sexually experiment" is practically ostracized and viewed as damaged goods.

America is going down the tubes...  The word prostitute and woman seem to be synonymous these days.. Sorry, don't mean to sound like a bigot, but it sjust seems so many American girls these days glorify slutiness.  Being the cheap f**K doll is like really in style.. THe sooner you can get it, the more great you are considered.

Whatever happen to the day American ladies were ladies??  Whatever happen to the time when women cherished their virginity and being great wives and mothers?  Now everything is about short-term sex fantasies and half our nation is divorced and half our young girls have STDs..  Not to mention the 1,000,000+ babies being butchered each year.

G-d Save America..

What do you mean by that?

Just a guess but I assume he is referring to abortions.

One thing to be clear about:  This study was about "urban adolescent women".  That means 'African-American'.  Anybody who genuinely knows the subject knows that most adult blacks are incredibly impulsive.  Then magnify for the added impulsiveness of youth.

By the way, if we're going to speak about such grotesque stuff, I recommend this study and others like it as required reading for dippy white suburban girls who, for whatever reason, as fascinated by the black gangster lifestyle.  Sleep with that crowd, and you're more or less assured of acquiring an immediate STD.  The only question is how serious an illness.

Certainly the Red Cross knows that fact, and if you doubt that, then read their pre-screening questionnaire for donating blood.

That, and schvartze "morality" has completely permeated all of American youth culture.

It's no secret that in the black and Latino community that sex is so common that most of all aids patients are black and Hispanic and most extremely young parents and grandparents are black and Hispanic as well.

Something called abortion.



Yes, I would assume the stats are skewed a bit.  They say Washington DC has higher HIV infection rate than many countries in Africa.. It proves, whether first world or third world, negroes will always be horny, stupid and self-destructive.
