Maybe it is just me but that seems to be a disturbing statistic.

This is the same statistic I heard 10 years ago. Except it was 1 in 4 sexually active people have an STD.
This is just another reason why you should wear a hat.
OR...
I'm still convinced that AIDS is Mother Nature's way of trying to stem the population explosion. She always takes care of business somehow...
I got infitago (SP) about 10 years ago. I don't think they consider that sexual but I did get it from making out with a girl that had it. She was hot though so I gladly applied the cream for that night of fun. I got it on my neck.

Education about how to participate in safe sex and encouragement to get tested for those that are sexual active, IMO - should be the way.
Teach/preach abstinence - and you lose 'em. I'm not saying condone it, but educate 'em - because it is going to happen.
People can go to the Polk County Health Department (downtown) and get tested for free (I think they ask for donations). I'd venture to guess very few, both in the DSM area and any other city, use such a service.
It sounds alarming, but they're not talking about AIDS. The vast majority is HPV, which is quite common in adults as well. In fact many of you probably have it without knowing it.
