4. Sexually transmitted Diseases(std’s) Also known as STI’s (infections)
These are infections that are transmitted by sexual contact.
Note that not all STD’s are curable
You teens are at higher risk to obtain STD’s, partly because you participate in frequent sexual activity more with multiple partners.
These infections that people catch come from having oral, anal, or vaginal sex.
They can be transmitted through that person’s blood, semen, or vaginal fluids.
Skin-to-skin contact with a person who has them also increases your chances of obtaining one.

5. Sexually transmitted diseases
About 9.5 million adolescents and young adults (ages 15–24) are diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) each year.
These Adolescents account for nearly half of the 20 million new cases of STD's each year.
Today, four in 10 sexually active teen girls have had an STD that can cause infertility and even death.
STDs often have no obvious sign or physical symptom, so regular screenings are critical.
Also, though rates of HIV are very low among adolescents, males make up more than two-thirds of HIV diagnoses among 13- to 19- year-olds.

7. What Are They?
Chlamydia - This most common bacterial STD is found in 20 to 40 percent of teens having sex outside of marriage. Up to 40 percent of all girls between the ages of 15 and 19 are infected -- the highest chlamydia infection rate of any age group. Chlamydia often has no overt symptoms, and if untreated can cause sterility in both males and females.
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) - Up to 15 percent of sexually active teenage girls are infected with HPV. The majority of those infected have a strain that has been linked to cervical cancer.
Genital Warts - Viral growths that appear on the external genital organs, genital warts infect as many as a third of all sexually active teenagers. No permanent cure exists for these growths, with at least 20 percent recurring following removal. In females, there is an association between genital warts and cervical cancer.
Herpes - This is a viral infection that, undiagnosed, can cause miscarriage or stillbirth during pregnancy. There is no cure.

8. What are they?
Gonorrhea - A highly contagious bacterial infection affecting the penis in men and the vagina in women, gonorrhea, left untreated, can cause sterility, arthritis, and heart trouble.
Syphilis - A serious, highly contagious, progressive bacterial disease that can affect all parts of the body -- the brain, bones, spinal cord, heart, and reproductive organs.
AIDS - Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a disease in which the body's natural defense system is disabled, allowing other bacterial and viral infections to become deadly.

9. Facts about STd’s
Young people (age 15-24) have five times the reported rate of chlamydia of the total population, four times the rate of gonorrhea and three times the rate of syphilis.
These infections can spread all through out the body.
In 2006, an estimated 5,259 young people aged in the 33 states reporting to CDC were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, representing about 14% of the persons diagnosed that year.
