Beaver County Sees Uptick In STD Numbers Among Young People
CBS Pittsburgh ^ | March 9, 2018 | John Shumway

Posted on 03/12/2018 5:07:09 PM PDT by tired&retired

Dr. DiCenco says the numbers in a state health department alert about STD’s and HIV among 15-24 year olds in Beaver County are “quite concerning and we, in our practice, have seen an uptick in the number of Gonorrhea and Chlamydia cases.”

The state alert says the cases of Gonorrhea among 15-24 year old men and women were up 34 percent in 2017 compared to 2016. HIV was up almost threefold.

“The HIV rate increasing 300 percent is very concerning,” says Dr. DiCenco.

So why are the numbers among young people rising? Students on the Carnegie Mellon Campus had these responses:

“I guess people don’t think it’s that much of a big deal, especially with the advancement in medical care.”

I don’t know what courses Carnegie Mellon offers but they might want to correspond with some medical students and find out what they say about the current status of medical care for STDs.

Or they could use a search engine on a computer. (a novel approach for these youngsters I know)

Medicine advances constantly but it wouldn’t be as reassuring as they think it is.

I assume most of these young people have been through some kind of public school sex education class. What are they learning?

“Tramps! Motor on over to central PA — no problems in Beavertown or Beaver Springs.”

What? No Drag Queen for the Beaver Springs Dragway?

34% is an “uptick”?

Wasn't it you who told me I'd never get lost if I just followed directions?

(First world) HIV is homosexuals and IV drug addicts almost exclusively. Other STD’s are spread by normal sexual behaivor.

IMO among Beaver Co young people, it’s drugs.

But I keep reading that young people are no longer interested in shagging. Never did believe those silly stories.

They have learned that ALL problems are solved and paid for by someone else. 3rd world people know differently.

They can slap a rubber on a banana quicker than a pit crew can change a tire.

Yep - I think Beaver County is just a skip down the road from Vagina City....(That’s how they pronounce it in Texas anyway...)
