:smh::smh::smh:

"This is pretty shocking," said Dr. Elizabeth Alderman, an adolescent medicine specialist at Montefiore Medical Center's Children's Hospital in New York.

"To talk about abstinence is not a bad thing," but teen girls — and boys too — need to be informed about how to protect themselves if they do have sex, Alderman said.

The overall STD rate among the 838 girls in the study was 26 percent, which translates to more than 3 million girls nationwide, researchers with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found. They released the results Tuesday at an STD prevention conference in Chicago.

"Those numbers are certainly alarming," said sex education expert Nora Gelperin, who works with a teen-written Web site called sexetc.org. She said they reflect "the sad state of sex education in our country."

"Sexuality is still a very taboo subject in our society," she said. "Teens tell us that they can't make decisions in the dark and that adults aren't properly preparing them to make responsible decisions."

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said the study shows that "the national policy of promoting abstinence-only programs is a $1.5 billion failure, and teenage girls are paying the real price."

Similar claims were made last year when the government announced the teen birth rate rose between 2005 and 2006, the first increase in 15 years.

The new study by CDC researcher Dr. Sara Forhan relied on slightly older data. It is an analysis of nationally representative records on girls ages 14 to 19 who participated in a 2003-04 government health survey.

The 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 genital herpes, 2 percent.

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, now a few years old, likely reflect current prevalence rates.

Disease rates were significantly higher among black girls — nearly half had at least one STD, versus 20 percent among both whites and Mexican-Americans.

HPV, the cancer-causing virus, can also cause genital warts but often has no symptoms. A vaccine targeting several HPV strains recently became available, but Douglas said it probably hasn't yet had much impact on HPV prevalence rates in teen girls.

The CDC recommends the three-dose HPV vaccine for girls ages 11-12 and catch-up shots for ages 13-26.

Chlamydia, which often has no symptoms but can lead to infertility, can be treated with antibiotics. The CDC recommends annual chlamydia screening for all sexually active women under age 25. Trichomoniasis, also treatable with antibiotics, can cause abnormal discharge and painful urination. Genital herpes can cause blisters but often has no symptoms. It's not curable but medicine can help.

The CDC's Dr. Kevin Fenton said given the dangers of some STDs, "screening, vaccination and other prevention strategies for sexually active women are among our highest public health priorities."

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."

Teens need to hear the dual message that STDs can be prevented by abstinence and condoms, said Dr. Ellen Kruger, an obstetrician-gynecologist at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans.

"You've got to hammer at them," with appropriate information at each stage of teen development to make sure it sinks in, she said.

She said there are a lot of myths out there, too — many sexually active teens think the withdrawal method will protect them, or that douching with Coca-Cola will kill STD germs.
 
I actually posted first, but I do believe it because the biggest factor was HPV not aids or a more common threatening virus. HPV can lay dormant much like some strains of Herpes. So if there no symptoms I can see how peopel walk around with it.
 
This is junk science. All of these studies that make assumptions about millions of people by observing a few are garbage. Nothing is done with the data other than publishing it and causing some short-term hype. I guess it was nice of them to stop at half of all teenage black girls, usually these studies will have some outlandish fuckin' number like 65-70% when they address black issues.
 
word. they would love for us to believe that shit. :hmm:

I agree. I question both the sampling methods and the actual percentage. However, over the past five years HPV cases has increased significantly in America. Both men an women may have it and not even know. Although condoms can lower the chance of HPV, it may not prevent the STI. Nonetheless, "In 90% of cases, the body’s immune system clears the HPV infection naturally within two years". http://www.cdc.gov/STD/HPV/STDFact-HPV.htm#preventrelated


In regards to the study:

thank you. damn. they just reported this bullshit on local tv. 50% of black girls and only 20% percent of white girls. :hmm:
 
I just saw it on the news...an even more alarming number on a larger scale 3.2!!! million teen girls have an STD (1 in 4 teen girls for math wiz's)...that's sick. But who can you blame they got DRUGS in the mutherfucking water!!!!!!!!!!
 
This aint really all that surprising, considering that 80% of women over 50 have HPV. HPV is everywhere, and condoms don't stop it, because it's about skin contact, so I'm just saying, be safe, and don't just pick up some hoez and think that strapping up is gonna save you from all disease. HPV and HERpes are everywhere.
 
yeah heres the thing that makes this 25%of teen girls have STD's statement not so scary is that if you take a look at the sample size of only 838 that they used to conduct the study and compare that to the population they need a larger sample size to get a statistically better estimate of a population. They're just trying to scare people into believing there is a pandemic. It makes for good news stories but nothing else. And remember people should be strapping up anyway......regardless...but it dont save you from everything just most things
 
I'm going to play the devils' advocate here..A lot of these young black chics are weedheads that will fuck any and everything for a "smoke session". And you really surprised?


*****waiting on the Captains to come in *************

It may have to do with the way blacks are concentrated in urban areas. Things have a better chance of spreading when you have people living on you of each other.
 
Yep This Is All A Bunch Of Bullshit.one Thng I Lean In My Statistic Class In College Is Statistics Can Be Manipulated To Fit Any Research.

I'm going to play devils advocate and say it might not be as high as 50% but it is high. Simply put a lot of black females are having unprotected sex and getting pregnant and yes getting diseases in the process as well. Truth be told a lot of these black females have multiple sex partners and fuck as much or more than us niggas.One last point, a lot of our black females make bad dating and sexual decisions as far as who they choose. A lot of them choose flashy niggas who themselves run through a lot of bitches.

Are these diagnosis from both private & public facilities???

I don't know it's the CDC, go figure. So if you don't agree with the stats let me know where you get your stats about black females from.
 
If this were true, how then isn't HIV also being spread @ a higher rate?

:hmm:

AIDS FACTS

http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/women/resources/factsheets/women.htm

* the leading cause of death for black women (including African American women) aged 25–34 years.

Samuel Cartwright, 1793-1863


In this article, "Diseases and Peculiarities of the Negro Race," Dr. Samuel Cartwright, a highly respected and widely published doctor from the University of Louisiana, discusses two diseases which he claims are unique to African Americans.

One is his newly-discovered "Drapetomania," a disease which causes slaves to run away;

the other, "Dysaethesia Aethiopica," a disease causing "rascality" in black people free and enslaved.
