It is really shocking that one in every four teenage girls in the United States is suffering from a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Certainly, it’s shocking, but it’s a bitter fact. There are more that 3 million teen girls suffering from sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. The number is really stunning!
The recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study shows that at least 25 % of teenage girls in the United States are suffering from STDs. Cervical cancer is the most common disease found in teenage girls; the human papillomavirus, or HPV, a virus that causes cervical cancer is by far one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in teen girls aged 14 to 19 in the United States. Cervical cancer affected 18 % of girls who were studied. Other STDs included chlamydia affecting 4 %; trichomoniasis affecting 2.5 %; and herpes simplex virus affecting 2 %.
