I don't see any way this is true. I'd believe 1/8, but that's still a LOT of people.

Isn't there a vaccine for the HPV?

They need to give the sample size to actually really give you an idea of what you are dealing with....

Doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

The study was only 838 girls/hoes, and 18% of them had HPV, which isn't too big of a deal for dudes. Then again, there's a vaccine for that, so 151 hoes can only blame themselves.

I'd also like to see how the 838 were chosen. I mean, according to my hypothetical survey based on my imaginary interviews at a funeral parlor, 97% of Americans have had someone close to them die in the last week and the other 3% are actively engaged in a large scale heroin distribution operation. If these girls were getting tested anyway, I'd imagine they wouldn't be getting tested if they hadn't thought they'd got a virus. However, the CDC is smarter than me.

From the government website. These numbers aren't wrong...my g/f is a med student...she sees a lot of this stuff...

HPV infection. Approximately 20 million Americans are currently infected with HPV, and another 6.2 million people become newly infected each year. At least 50% of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives.

HERPES infection. Results of a nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection. Over the past decade, the percent of Americans with genital herpes infection in the U.S. has decreased.

Genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of eight). This may be due to male-to-female transmission being more likely than female-to-male transmission.

Not surprised.

I don't ever want a daughter.

Co-sign. If I do, she's getting locked in the basement on her 10th b-day and be home schooled til she's 35.

Re: Consider yourself warned....

Parents hiding from kids instead of educating them.... They gonna learn it somehow or from somewhere different people must take the responsibility of teaching kids the truth and stop waiting till it doesnt feel uncomfortable.

I don't really think it has anything to do with education, as they have to take health in school. If the child wants to have sex, there really is nothing the Parents can do to stop them or the fact that someone told them they can get a STD, they will find a way around it and they think it won't happen to them. What the Parents can do is get involved in their child's life and that would stop a lot of it. Parents need to get involved and be a bad guy if necessary and not let the child go and do certain things.

Posts like daflyboys' (while his was a joke) are the reason why so many girls turn into disease-carrying slutbags to begin with.

They don't teach you anything useful about sex in health class. And truthfully, I think asking the school to try and teach these kids about sex is a stupid decision in itself.

Teenagers are going to have sex. There is no stopping it. But the parents need to stop being afraid to talk to these kids about it and make them understand that they need to protect themselves if they are going to be sexually active.

Bull****. I can't name even 2 people in my high school class alone that could even have a STD.

Unless you go to a one room school house, there are likely more than 2 girls in your high school class who have had sex.

Believe.
