A virus that causes cervical cancer is by far the most common sexually transmitted infection in teen girls aged 14 to 19, while the highest overall prevalence is among black girls -- nearly half the blacks studied had at least one STD. That rate compared with 20 percent among both whites and Mexican-American teens, the study from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.

ReplyDelete1 in 4 teenage girls now have an STD, most have HPV. For blacks the rate is 50%.
ReplyDeleteGo get your daughters the HPV vaccine.
Randal, care to post your source for that 50% number?
