CBS:1/4美国少女患有性病
[size=5]Study: 1 In 4 U.S. Teen Girls Has STD[/size][b](CBS/AP) [/b]At least one in four teenagegirls nationwide has a sexually transmitted disease, or more than 3million teens, according to the first study of its kind in this agegroup.
A virus that causes cervical cancer is by far the most commonsexually transmitted infection in teen girls aged 14 to 19, while thehighest overall prevalence is among black girls - nearly half theblacks studied had at least one STD. That rate compared with 20 percentamong both whites and Mexican-American teens, the study from thefederal [url=http://www.cdc.gov/]Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[/url] found.
About half of the girls acknowledged ever having sex; among them,the rate was 40 percent. While some teens define sex as onlyintercourse, other types of intimate behavior including oral sex canspread some infections.
For many, the numbers likely seem "overwhelming because you'retalking about nearly half of the sexually experienced teens at any onetime having evidence of an STD," said Dr. Margaret Blythe, anadolescent medicine specialist at Indiana University School of Medicineand head of the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee onadolescence.
But the study highlights what many doctors who treat teens see every day, Blythe said.
Dr. John Douglas, director of the CDC's division of STD prevention,said the results are the first to examine the combined nationalprevalence of common sexually transmitted diseases among adolescentgirls. He said the data, from 2003-04, likely reflect current rates ofinfection.
"High STD rates among young women, particularly African-Americanyoung women, are clear signs that we must continue developing ways toreach those most at risk," Douglas said.
Experts hope today's report encourages more discussion among teens, parents and doctors, reports [b]CBS News medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook[/b].
"This might be a tough conversation for some parents, but this istheir kids' health, but also their future health, Dr. ElizabethAlderman told [b]LaPook[/b].
The CDC's Dr. Kevin Fenton said given that STDs can causeinfertility and cervical cancer in women, "screening, vaccination andother prevention strategies for sexually active women are among ourhighest public health priorities."
The study by CDC researcher Dr. Sara Forhan is an analysis ofnationally representative data on 838 girls who participated in a2003-04 government health survey. Teens were tested for fourinfections: human papillomavirus, or HPV, which can cause cervicalcancer and affected 18 percent of girls studied; chlamydia, whichaffected 4 percent; trichomoniasis, 2.5 percent; and herpes simplexvirus, 2 percent.
Blythe said the results are similar to previous studies examining rates of those diseases individually.
The results were prepared for release Tuesday at a CDC conference in Chicago on preventing sexually transmitted diseases.
HPV can cause genital warts but often has no symptoms. A vaccinetargeting several HPV strains recently became available, but Douglassaid it likely has not yet had much impact on HPV prevalence rates inteen girls.
Chlamydia is curable with antibiotics. The CDC recommends annualchlamydia screening for all sexually active women under age 25. It alsorecommends the three-dose HPV vaccine for girls aged 11-12 years, andcatch-up shots for females aged 13 to 26.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has similar recommendations.
Douglas said screening tests are underused in part because manyteens don't think they're at risk, but also, some doctors mistakenlythink, '"Sexually transmitted diseases don't happen to the kinds ofpatients I see."'
Blythe said some doctors also are reluctant to discuss STDs withteen patients or offer screening because of confidentiality concerns,knowing parents would have to be told of the results.
The [url=http://www.aap.org/]American Academy of Pediatrics[/url] supports confidential teen screening, she said. 网友反应:
hmmitsannie, wellsaid and I am sorry for your sisters, but what we did years ago is notnecessarily wrong, it worked, and of course there were still a fewgirls who got pregnant, but no law is perfect and some are better thanothers.. We were definely happier and with less pressures then thannow.. All I was scared about was that some girl would wear the samedress as me to the dance, I didnt have to worry about drugs, ***, etc..we could walk along the beaches, streets etc without fear, so why notwant to bring back SOME of yesteryear if it was easier and a bettertime, it is NOT impossible, but it would take a lot of education andjust as we have been manipulated into todays morals so it could bereversed, but of course it wont be!!! not yet anyway, we still have away to go down yet before people will wake up and say enough is enough,in fact I feel that we are in for a much worse time in regards to crimemorals etc than we are having now, as the saying goes, "we aint seenmuch yet".

hypnotoad72,TV is not the blame it is what we allow them to put on it, the moralsof the producers are non existant.. it is a ses pit of bad morals andwe give them premission to do it by watching it..
Yes it is hard forparents today, and when our kids were young we didnt want someone elseto bring up our children so I stayed home even though Teachers pay inNZ was just so much lower than even the low paying jobs, and my husbandworked holidays as well.. and yes we went without, we also rented. Itmeant that I had to undo old jumpers and knit them up and make clothsfor the children out of our old cloths, and cut the sheets down themiddle when the middle was getting thin and put the out side to theinside. But I was at home bringing up our children and, it was awonderful time and now our 4 children are all doing exceptionally well,with top jobs and children of their own.

bama_mamaand jesterbelle, I am with you.... Here in Australia, the unmarriedmother can have child after child to different men and the governmentsupports the woman and childen. It is a hard one as people dont wantthe children to go without, but I believe that if the government was tosay that as from a years time that there would be no money paid out toany child born after that date that the number of childen being bornout of wedlock would drop drastically. Suddenly they would takeresponsibility for their act..of course there would still be childrenborn but there is a massive waiting list (I believe a 14 years waitinglist here in Australia) for married COUPLES wanting to adopt..
Funny also how there was less crime many years ago eh girls.. one can only wonder why, but I think that we three know...

Bythe way I know the world has their hope in Medical Science but MedicalScience has their limits especially when people disregards the laws oflife and the laws of God according to flesh. Medical Science did notcreate mankind, so get over it and accept the fact that MS can only doso much. However you can act and change your lifestyles, teach yourchildren the values of good morales and their responsibility to beingmorally clean. The more this nation fornicates the more NEW diseaseswill be passed around and Medical Science will not be able to keep upwith the madness!

Whatcan we expect from these kids, they see it on TV all day, how many TVprograms are there which have good family homes, and two parentfamilies in them??? well there is the simpsons I supose..
Most TVshows have teens in and out of others beds and no responsibility.. Ihave even seen shows on how teens are doing things that we as teenswould never have thought about and then there is a sort of moral to thestory which makes parents think that it is then an ok story, but in theprocess it has taught many kids what to do outside of their parents...But I supose these stories are just a teens type of ''days of ourlives''..
I cant understand why parents dont look as to why therewasnt much of this problem 30 years ago, sometimes turning the clockback is not going back to the dark ages..

httpwwwnews, from what I have read, men are also likely to get cancer of the *** and or prostate cancer from the same virus..
Iam not religious but perhaps this is why the Amish women and men areway less likely to get these diseases, and perhaps this is why thebible said to only have one partner (your husband) then they knew thatthere was NO possibility of getting any diseases.. after all the lifeof the law has come about through centuries of experience, and in ourstupidity we, ''the modern man and our inlightened knowledges'', havereplaced it with our rights and discrimination under which we can doanything...
We are slowly catching up to the horrific diseasesthat homosexuals get from their acts of rimming and other horrible actsthat they do, etc, so perhaps it is time that we should take a closerlook at why..

Notjust teens or 20''s get HPV. I know a woman whose new husband gave itto her, they were in their 40''s, and she subsequently developedcervical cancer from the virus. She ended up having to have ahysterectomy and the rest of the cancer treatment.
Mostinsurances don''t cover the HPV vaccine and the cost is over $250 forthe 3 shots. There aren''t a lot of girls in this age group who canafford that pricy of a vaccination. A trip to the doctor to see if youhave an STD, let alone for treatment and getting meds, is prohibitive,if you don''t have insurance.
Forget the name calling andmoral judgements. Just make the medications and vaccines affordable andreadily available in doctors offices for girls with insurance andclinics for girls without. It''s more important to keep people healthythan preach about behavior.

Youhit the nail on the head. Couldn''t have said it better. Perception ofpromiscuity has changed. It is now considered morally acceptable to hopfrom one bed to the other. Back in my teen days (by the way, was lessthan 10yrs ago) girls like that were laughed at and made fun of. Norespectable guy would date them and no respectable girl would befriendthem. Thus, because there were unwanted consequences, most girls didnot make the trip around the entire block. They were also afraid of thetaboo of teen pregnancy, and the consequences of being a kid and tryingto raise one. But now parents and government will do that for you.

Childrenrise to the expectations set before them. If you aim low, that''s whatyou get. If women had men who held them in higher esteem they wouldrise to that level. If women will settle for lust, instead of holdingthe standard of their body to a higher level, that''s as far as theyoung man has to reach...his zipper. If men would spend more time inschool instead of videot games the standard rises to meet theexpectation. Harvard educated men don''t date from the inner city ofDetroit. Vassar educated women don''t date from the lower east side ofCleveland.

So,why don''t women want guys to receive the HPV vaccine (even though tensof thousands of us are anyway)? I mean, is it because they know it willprevent penile cancer, which is also caused by HPV, as well as analcancer, not to mention genital warts? And, women can''t stand thethought the men might benefit from something that they benefit from,too. Think I''m exaggerating? When a local guy went public about havingreceived the vaccine, the health nurses in one backward Ohio countywrote a scathing critique of the individual''s actions, claiming thatit wasn''t approved for men (even though it is okay for men to take it"off label" and out of pocket) so they shouldn''t.

Okay Wiseguys,
Parentsand kids are the same from generation to generation. Permissiveinfluences, though they change forms, exist from generation togeneration as well. Kids didn''t get HIV and STDs back when or thenumbers were real low but, something changed and now kids are gettingHIV and STDs left and right. Here''s my question: What''s changed?! Asfar as I can see, the addition of $ex and abstinence education is theonly change. In the end, the numbers of HIV and STD infections keepincreasing despite $ex and abstinence education so, what''s changed?Perhaps, the problem is $ex and abstinence ed to begin with and theclimate of $ex in the schools that''s generated by it. It''s the onlyexplanation I see. What''s changed if not $ex and abstinence ed beingadded?

If both parents have to work in order to have kids, whywould you have them? The reason why there is such a problem is becauseparents that work all the time do not have time or they are too tiredto pay attention to them. So therefore they never know where they areor what they are doing.

Add that to the influx of illegals, non-assimilating immigrants, and the drug, alcoholic, me-first population, and there you go.
Thepressure on properly raised, morally conscious kids to go along to getalong, is enormous. Many decent, focused young people lose their way inthe morass of confusion over decisions. The worst in society are havingsevere, deleterious effects on these kids.
