STD's.....

are at epidemic proportions. Over 70 million Americans currently have an STD. 19 million cases occur each year. Most people who have an STD are unaware of their infection and contagious state. This should especially alarm young people, because of the 19 million new STD infections each year, nearly half of them are among people between the ages of 15 and 24. ( wrtl.org , chastity.com)

Just In 2008........

over 7000 teenage girls in Wisconsin reported contracting an STD.
When considering the impact of STD's, we should consider the words of former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop: "When you have sex with someone, you are having sex with everyone they have had sex with over the last 10 years, and everyone they and their partners have had sex with for the last 10 years.   (dhs.wisconsin.gov, chastity.com)
