STDs
Our local newspaper is doing a week-long series on "Teen Sex: Truth and Consequences"
The 13 Sep issue has a table titled "Quick facts about STDs"
- 29 cases age 9 and under
- 704 cases age 10-14
- 15,806 age 14-19
Chlamydia
- 10 cases age 9 and under
- 284 cases age 10-14
- 5,884 age 14-19
Gonorrhea
This begs the question how are children age 9 and under getting these two sexually transmitted diseases with the emphasis on the sexually tranmitted part?
