CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- At least one in four teenage girls nationwide has a sexually transmitted disease, or more than 3 million teens, according to the first study of its kind in this age group.

The study by CDC researcher Dr. Sara Forhan is an analysis of nationally representative data on 838 girls who participated in a 2003-04 government health survey. 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 herpes simplex virus, 2 percent.

Sex education in school = Total failure

Radio said blacks were highest by far at 50%, Latinas and Whites were 20% (real bad as well).

Anyone hear what the percentage was with Asians?

Yeah. And I still don’t believe it.

The Sexual Revolution has been very destructive to young women in particular. Forty years ago, young women were being convinced that women and men are no different and that women’s sexual experiences should be as voluminous as men’s. Now many women are as promiscuous as some men and are/will be paying the price. HPV causes nearly 75% of the cervical cancers we see nowadays. Young women are being diagnosed with this much more frequently than in years past. Many of the STDs make women infertile (as does having a hysterectomy for cervical cancer). The Feminists don’t tell young girls that part of it. HPV is a completely preventable epidemic. Somehow this info has to get out to the populace, no matter how non-PC it is.

Something to think about:

The heart of the theory is that foreign sperm, any sperm into a woman, and another male’s sperm into a man, cause diseases. Sperm of the other guy, pooled in a woman’s vagina, move into the opening in the penis of a subsequent sex partner.

Sperm invade the lining or surface membranes of the internal and external genitalia and enter blood vessels. In the blood stream they go anywhere in the body. Foreign sperm are the missing link in causes of diseases. They probably are the major cause of cancers and many other devastating diseases. ...
[I]nvestigations of bacteria, viruses, and other parasites with host responses to them have failed to explain the causes of most fundamental human diseases. As a few examples of many possible, the causes have not been proved and really are unknown for the common cold, rheumatic fever, serious inflammatory diseases of the eyes including most uveitis, ulcerative diseases of the stomach and intestines, glomerulonephritis, interstitial cystitis, cystitis cystica, endometriosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosis, dermatomyositis, psoriasis, brain diseases including psychoses and senile dementia, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, diabetes, atherosclerosis, most congenital defects, and benign and malignant tumors. Even as to inherited diseases, causes of initial alterations of genes are unknown. ...

Sperm invade the delicate linings of the internal and external genitalia of men and women. In most cases, there is no primary sore or apparent disease at the site of entry. When present, most ‘primary’ diseases at the site of sperm entry in the male are manifest as pus and mucous discharges from the urethra and are diagnosed as gonorrhea or nonspecific urethritis.

Sperm also probably cause primary ulcers or sores on the genitalia that look like the ‘cankers’ that occur commonly in the mouth. Those primary ulcers are usually diagnosed as herpes, chanchroid, or syphilis. After invading the inner or outer surface of the genitalia, sperm enter the blood stream. Resulting lesions all over the body by sperm or their parts explain the basic cause of most cancers and diseases of adults. ...
The essential scientific facts are established. Sperm move aggressively and invade tissues and cells. They carry DNA and RNA that are the same basic nature as the DNA and RNA that are the vital substances of bacteria and viruses that cause diseases. It is known that they are highly antigenic to which the body responds by making antibodies. Those antigens can be expected to cause other body reaction including inflammation. Sperm have all the factors necessary to cause inflammation, and it is known that they do in fact cause inflammation. Such inflammation is observed when a vasectomy results in leakage of sperm into the tissues. ...
Once foreign sperm enter tissues or cells, instead of living as intact sperm, they probably........

Soapter FReeped it too.

But hey... Different headlines means you don’t always find these things when you do a FR search.

Free sex doesn’t seem so free after all.

Dripping with anticipation for this news...

I searched and searched!

I used the whole title: The just STD then STD’s.

"At least one in four teenage girls nationwide has a sexually transmitted disease, or more than 3 million teens,"

Hmmmmm, 3 million times 4 is 12 million total, that seems low for the total amount of teen girls in the US.

Of course it may only seem that way after half of them were in my basement having a sleepover last weekend....

Thanks for the re- post. My son will be 16 tomorrow, I had him read it.

Ummmmmmm

Unfortunately, most 16 year olds believe they are both immune and immortal. ;-)

Don’t feel bad. I posted the same article.

1 in 4 teen girls has sexual disease

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1984010/posts

I used ‘sexual’ as my keyword search. But Soapter had already FReeped it with a different title:

CDC: At Least 1 in 4 Teenage Girls Has Sexually Transmitted Disease

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1983904/posts

And your article has neither ‘sexual’ or ‘sexually’ in the title.

Anyway. These numbers are highly suspicious and need to be debated.

I have FReepers on my thread who argue the 1 of 4 is a lie - Way too high. Then other FReepers are claiming to be health care providers and are claiming the numbers are way too low. That more teens have STD’s than the CDC is reporting.

Who’s to say???
