Latest study suggests that behavioral intervention in teens prevent them from indulging in risky sexual acts and in turn decrease sexually transmitted infections (STI). The findings were recently published in the journal Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
A study was conducted on 51,240 participants aged 11 to 19 years among which 98 interventions was performed from 67 studies on the basis of sexual behavior, use of protection, condom use technique, communication skills and sexual transmitted infections (STI).
After going through behavioral interventions, it was found that the rates of STI have been reduced significantly among teens. It also resulted in increased use of condoms, delayed sex, practice safer sex and undertake prophylactic protection. Behavioral intervention is very much effective in reducing the sexually diseases which occurs to young adolescents.
Sexual diseases which can be linked to younger generations are gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis, herpes or genital warts. The diseases often show no symptoms so it’s very much difficult to detect them. Regular health screening test is essential along with effective treatment to recover from the disease.
Health providers and experts are doing their best to reduce occurrence of STD especially among younger generations. It is expected that students should know more about sexual infections and their consequences, and if possible abstain from sex as that is the best possible way to prevent disease.
