Federal health officials have reported in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey that one in four female teenagers is infected with at least one of four common infections, including chlamydia, herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), and trichomoniasis. Furthermore, fifteen percent of the infected women had more than one of the diseases. The shocking nature of the findings lends a sense of urgency to providing better sexual education and services to our nation’s youth. While the sexual...
