Approximately 80% of American women are already infected

If true, what an incredible indictment of our society! We conservatives argue vehemently against the Libs' saying that people cannot be counted on to control themselves - that abstinence isn't a viable alternative. The question is, is this 80% figure accurate or is it one of the Liberals' (or drug companies')fabricated/manipulated stats designed to prove their point that monogamy no longer exists?

Yes, I'd want to see a source on that, too. With a link to the actually study so we can determine the sample size and any selection bias.

See Ho et. al., NEJM 1998:338:423-8

See also Sawaya, et. al. Obstet. Gynecol. 1999

Sorry I don't have a more specific citation for the second article right at hand.
