The sexual transmitted diseases (STD) have affected approximately 3.2 million teenage girls, according to a survey study by Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Recently a Federal report even surprised Elizabeth Alderman, which stated that 2 out of 5 teenage girls have been affected with sexual transmitted disease. Elizabeth is a specialist at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center in New York.
The problem happens due to the fact, that girls often blindly believe that nothing will go wrong or their partner are clean enough for something to happen. Kids often tell lie when confronting with doctor, as they are not comfortable in discussing such issues. Often they say, they are using protection, but real fact is that, they are not.
A survey conducted in 2003-04 by Centers For Disease Control and Prevention on 838 girls aged 14 to 19, out of which one in four had sexually transmitted disease (STD). Each of the teens was tested with herpes simplex, Chlamydia, trichomoniasis and HPV.
It has been found, that more than half of the black population suffered from at least one STD when compared to twenty percent within Whites and Mexican Americans.
Most of the teens involved in sexual intercourse at least once during college, and that is the reason for an increasing rise in number of STD. It is important that teenage girls should undergo test regularly for detection of any STD at any of the nearest health clinics and hospitals.
