STDs rife among US teenage girls
One in four teenage girls in the United States has a sexually-transmitted disease, a study has indicated.
The study, by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), found an even higher prevalence of STDs among black girls.
Researchers analysed data from a nationally representative sample of 838 US girls aged 14 to 19.
A virus that causes cervical cancer - HPV - was the most common, followed by chlamydia, trichomoniasis and herpes.
The CDC says the study is the first in its kind to examine the prevalence of common sexually transmitted diseases among adolescent girls.
It found that nearly half of the African-American girls surveyed had at least one STD, while the rate was 20% among white and Mexican-American teenagers.
Human papillomavirus, or HPV, affected 18% of the girls surveyed, chlamydia 4%, trichomoniasis 2.5%, and herpes simplex virus 2%.
Screening recommended
The CDC's Devin Fenton said it was a serious issue because the diseases could lead to infertility and cervical cancer.
"Screening, vaccination and other prevention strategies for sexually active women are among our highest public health priorities," he said.
The CDC is recommending annual chlamydia screening for all sexually active women under 25, and HPV vaccines for girls aged 11 to 12, followed by booster injections.
John Douglas, the CDC's head of STD prevention, says screenings are underused because teenagers often do not think they are at risk.
Analysts say some doctors are also reluctant to discuss screening with teenage patients because of confidentiality concerns, knowing parents would have to be told of the results.
is this true? how scary..oh and btw..if girls arent skanks there wont be so many of them with stds. everyone knows boys are just horny…to stop this? keep ur legs closed.
what did that have to do with miley? If anything she should be the last picture you put up…she may dress older than she looks at times and wear a lot of makeup but she goes out and about talking about taking virginity very serious.
And they should include guys in there…what do you think girl self fuck?
Guys are pretty infected as well. So when you say were filled with skanks that goes both ways..males and females.
I read blogs for entertainment but damn don't tell me you aren't educated? Calling names and putting up random pictures like that is just plain dumb.
lol luv how u have miley`s pic up ther
Is that from the same think tank that has proven that 4 out of 5 gay men are farking morons? Perez, please, get with the program and stop spreading lies like this.
How about the world is filled with DIRTY D*#K!!!
miley has a good head on her shoulders, stop picking on her. Pick on the preggers or the slutties, little li-lo, jamie lynn you know, girls of that sort.
ewwww, not sleeping with americans ever. dirty little whores. and man-whores too im guessing. how gross, one in four?!?! thats fucking high.
Re: trust me – I doubt that NO ONE in your school has an STD…you would be surprised to know that MOST of the people in your school probably have one and don't know they do…
Come to the UK its 1 in 3 lol
I have herpes since im a baby! Dont know were that came from.
Oh well..
Re: MILEY RULES –
Miley Cyrus is a whore, get over it. Of course she's going to say that shes saving for marriage! you actually believe it??? Britney Spears said the same thing when she was as "normal" as miley. And it doesn't make a difference if you don't come to this site anymore…theres millions of people that still will. one person won't make a difference.
This is pretty sad. I'm a fourteen year old girl, and I think there needs to be more education on the risks of promiscuous sex. Abstinence and use of condoms needs to be taught more.
Why, in every picture out there, does Miley Cyrus look like a dick is about to fly into her mouth?
Re: Love it! –
hahahahahahahahahahaahhaa
this is so stupid. her picture does not deserve to be there. she is fifteen and a VIRGIN. leave her the hell alone. she's never done anything to you. you're a vulgar and disgusting idiot.
Okay, where are these nasty skanks from? Seriously, that's a HIGH ratio.
TAKE HER PICTURE OFF!!!!
What is wrong with you? First it was Brittany and now you are cheering her on. Did you just need some one new and innocent to bully!!!
The girls got their disease from SOMEWHERE!!! Gee I wonder where it was from?? Maybe it was the skanky ass boys who sleep around with everyone?? They should do a fucking study on the boys and make a spectacle of them!!
besides this being extremely distasteful, it's also horribly unnecessary. and, plus.. it's not only girls who are infected.. where do you think they get it from? boys are just as much at fault. why not survey them??
HOLY SHIT
Re: MILEY RULES – you're seriously a dumbass if you believe that line.
Britney said she'd be pure till marriage - lost her virginity to JT
Jamie Lynn said she'd be pure till marriage - we know this story…
Jessica Simpson said she'd be pure till marriage - well.. she got married very young just to do the do. and paid a hefty price because she's been out of work since the Newlyweds!!
it's a trend. it never changes. give her time and she'll blossom into the true skank we've all predicted.
why is miley's photo on here? why would you say that "we're filled with skanks"??? what type of sexist propaganda are you pushing perez? dont you think that perhaps these stds were given to them by men who had them first???
i dont appreciate you jumping to conclusions like this, and slandering miley cyrus like that.
your blog is becoming worthless…
Skanks!!!!??? where do you think they are getting them from?? Apparently men carry it and infect their host. So we are not infested with Skanks but instead with MEN and WOMEN who don't know how to cover it up. So don't put this only on FEMALES. So SEXIST…
i love your blog perez but why do you always have to hate on miley cyrus….shes amazingggggg and talented. she hasnt done anythingg bad get over it already you posting about her isnt going to make her bad.
why would you fxcking use miley as the picture god.
But I'd rather have skanks than aids from gays
perez, don't be a dick.
the reason all these girls get stds is because everyone tells them not to have sex, so when they go out and have sex anyway the don't know what the hell they're doing and get pregnant and infections.
if anyone is a skank here, you are.
Perez, WHAT THE HELL DOES MILEY HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?!
SHE'S A VIRGIN FOR GOD SAKES.
Leave the child alone. Jamie lynn, ok, makes sense but why miley?!?!
Miley does'nt even have sex. LAME PEREZ
Re: Sarah – EXACTLY!!! YOUNG GIRLS DON'T GET THEM FROM SITTING AROUND!!!!!
and putting a picture of this young girl???? is your foot up ur fat ass again perez???? sometimes u have good stuff on ur blog. but when u start attacking some one like this girl who is very positive to some girls that have nothing to do w ur article is what makes a lot of people hate u… what does her picture have to do with this artcle????? ur a real shit….i
Filled with skanks?
Because these are exclusively the realm of teenage girls?
Don't be a sexist ass, Perez.
Not to mentions this may have something to do with the ridiculousness of abstinence only education.
PEREZ, wtf WHERE could these girls get the STDS from?
BOYS.
you sexist homo.
you probably have one too.
that is if your not still a VIRGIN.
1 in 4 of those who get tested…
Re: TROY – ROFL YEA
SATAN AND SOME OF HIS LIES TOLD:
1.homosexuality is an ok lifestyle to lead. going as far as creating the "homohopic hype."
2.That he doesnt exist, and neither does God. Then why do his tools like the hollywood movies only have messages of evil and glorify sins that God is against?
3.That those who actively worship him will inherit the kingdom of hell when they die.
4.Racism and it is ok to have these thoughts because we all prefer our own.
Hollywood movies. we think these are innocent movies we watch for recreational purposes, NOT true, hollywood is used to filter all kinds of evil messages, and bondages to mankind. Actors are his tools.
5.Music, same as the above. after all he was the angel of music in heaven.
6.That christmas is about eating and present giving cleverly making people forget the real reason Jesus birth. Same to all other christian holidays. easter is about the easter egg.
7.Humans are "mini gods". we have been caught up in the hype of this TEMPORARY life that we forget what is really important. our personal relationship with God, where we will end up when we die and is it worth living a sinful when the downside is hell for eternity????????????
no big surprise here. Girls are sluttier than they ever have been.
girls kissing other girls for attention
blah blah blah, whores.
MILEY CYRUS HAD A BABY! HANNA MONTANA HAD A TAN BANANNA. IT'S LIVING IN HER UNDERPANTS! SHE'S GONNA GIVE IT TO SURREY CRUISE!
perez, youre an idiot. miley took a vow of chastity, she's the least likely to get an STD. why do you hate her so much.
what does miley have to do with STDs.
just because shes a teenager.. use ali lohan or someone else!
perez- read your column almost daily— but miley?
come on. you CAN DO BETTER. that is ridiculous.
Before calling people "skanks" you need to get the facts straight! HPV is more common then you think Perez and you probably have some type of it and everyone else on here too. My doctor told me that 80% of Americans betweent he ages of 14 and 30 have it and probably more because the only way to test it is if a woman has an abnormal pap smear and there is no testing available for men!!
Thank you George W Bush and all you goddamn neo-cons for turning our country's young people into uneducated, repressed diseased kids! Let's go back to the days of teaching teenagers about ALL their options. In such an over-sexed culture it's no wonder that pushing abstinence programs + horny teenagers = lots of STDs. How sad!
FYI: THE REASON THE MEN WERE NOT TESTED IN THIS STUDY IS BECAUSE MEN CANNOT BE TESTED FOR HPV. MEN CAN ONLY BE TESTED FOR THE THE HPV VIRUS STRAIN THAT CAUSES WARTS AND THAT IS IF THERE IS A WART PRESENT AT THE TIME TO TEST. MEN CANNOT GET THE STRAIN OF HPV THAT CAUSES CERVICAL CANCER….THEY ARE ONLY CARRIERS. THERE IS NOT A TEST THAT CAN BE USED ON MEN TO SEE IF THEY ARE CARRYING THE VIRUS SO……BE PROTECTED LADIES….AND GENTLEMEN!!!!
THIS WORLD IS BECOMMING MORE AND MORE DISGUISTING. PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THEIR HEADS IN THE BOOKS NOT INBETWEEN PEOPLES LEGS. THIS IS JUST SICKENING. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WHEN THE MOTHERS AREN'T GOOD ROLE MODELS AND THEY WATCH DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, LIPSTICK JUNGLE AND TONS OF THESE OTHER SHOWS THAT PROMOTE NOTHING BUT SLEEPING AROUND. THEN THE PARENTS GO OFF AND BUY THEIR KIDS I LOVE ASHTON SHIRTS AND PANTS THAT SAY JUICY ON THE BACKSIDE. PEOPLE HAVE TO NOT ALLOW THINGS LIKE THIS TO ENTER INTO THEIR LIVES. WE ALL MAKE OUR OWN DECISIONS. HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO DESPERATE AT THE AGE OF EVEN 11 TO HAVE SEX ? DAMN, HOW LOW !!!
Yeah because condoms do everyone a hell of a lot of good with oral sex! Most guys I know don't want to use condoms for that.
I was also told the statistic…
1 out of 5 sexually active people over the age of 12 in the US has genital herpes…
Im so happy my age group is not apart of the new stats!
why is she trying to look like a porn star?
HAHAHAHHAHAH at putting a pic of miley.
nice perez nice. see this is why i love you
well that and your love of the jonas. haha
YEAH BLAME THE 'SKANKS' PEREZ!!! WHERE DO U THINK THEY GOT THE STD FROM?! IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO ASSHOLE. I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM TEST THE GUYS…. ITS UNFORTUNATE THEY DONT HAVE A TEST FOR HPV IN MEN WHO ARE THE ONES WHO CARRY THE VIRUS AS WELL. UR A FUCKING JERKOFF!
die perez your gonna get yours one day!!
wow why the hell r her eyes so close together? anyone ever noticed this? mileys probably lying about the whole staying pure til marriage thing, britney did.
Re: T – Well most guys don't want to use condoms, period. So….
Miley is such a great girl. Stop trying to corrupt her.
I'm not a Miley fan or anything but shouldnt Jamie Lynn be up there instead of Miley, i think its a little more appropriate to put up the one we KNOW had sex when talking about an STD
Why do you hate on her Perez? you are such a douche!!
this guy hates woman & hates that he is gay!!! he hates himself thats why he spews so much hates
I find it disheartening that not only would you generalize teenage girls as skanks, but to poke fun at a virus that has affected thousands of women every year. As a medical professional, I have had to break the news to so many young women, and, in spite of them now having the disease, they feel labeled and objectified by stereotypes portrayed in today's culture. Perez, what you should be doing is encouraging those who read this website to get tested for the virus and receive their Guardasil vaccines. More importantly, you should be encouraging people to practice either safe sex, or abstaining until they are in a committed and monogamous relationship. It's sad that with the influence that you have in today's culture that you would exercise that right to perform a public service to women, who are your primal fanbase. Very disappointed in you…
Okay,
first of all…'we're NOT filled with skanks'…wouldn't it seem more appropriate that we are surrounded by male whore and female victims. It should be cleared up that HPV does not ALWAYS cause cervical cancer, it affects women differently depending on the strand they have acquired. HPV is a virus that infects women but is CARRIED by men…unfortunately there is no testing available to men, most often men do NOT even show symptoms, and most do not know that they are even carrying the virus until they infect someone else. The virus is so small that even using protection (condoms) does not offer 100% protection against HPV. This is not the fault of North American teens, boys or girls. The blame is once again to be put on those in charge of our health…HPV was ignored until it developed into the first stages of an epidemic…and it is expected that up to 75% of women will be infected with at least one strand of HPV in their life time. So, let's take the blame off the 'skanks' and lay it where it belongs…with the GOVERNMENT, as per usual.
i think you have done it this time .this article along with a picture of young miley is as isee it grounds fot a major law suit ,so its back to where you belong if you can afford to get there bye!!!!!!!!!!!!
so we girls took the STDs.
MILEY CYRUS GOT REJECTED FROM THE ACADEMY OF HOLY ANGELS IN DEMAREST, NEW JERSEY; THEY ONLY REJECTED 10 GIRLS!

Re: b is baaaaaaaaaaaack [vote 4 OBAMA] –
Wrong! They need to keep their legs shut and put their head in a book instead of in some boys lap. Why is everybody so surprised about this? look at the entertainment world. What does songs, movies, shows, even cartoons focus on? Girls always saying boys are cute and having crushes. Take a look at your daughters bedroom posters, half naked boys on their walls. Parents need to wake up and teach their kids to be smart and not sluts. They wouldn’t need condoms if they focused on abundance and prosperity. You need to go to thesecret.tv and buy the movie and book for your kids instead of buying them movies about how cute a boy is and rap & R&B talking about shake your ass. WAKE UP!
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
AMERICAN GIRLS ARE THE BIGGEST WHORES IN THE WORLD
AND YOU WONDER WHY PEOPLE LIKE ELLIOT SPITZER BUY THEM
AT LEAST HE'S BUYING AMERICAN
WTF?!?!?!
WHAT DOES MILEY HAVE TO DO WITH THAT!
SHES A FUCKING VIRGIN!
SHE WEARS A PURITY RING!
!!!
UGHH!
LEAVE HER ALONE YOU DONT KNOW HER!

SHE IS SOO RELIGIOUS!
SE HAS A GOOD FAMILY AND SHE WIL NOT END UP L IKE THAT!
SHES JUST GUNNA PROVE YOU THAT SO YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME.
ONE DAY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET YOU BAD PEREZ!
PUTTING THE FACE OF A TEENAGE GIRL ISNT FUNNY
DONT YOU REMEMBER BEING YOUNG?
WHAT WOULD THAT HAVE MADE YOU FEEL LIKE AT 15?
Perez, that was hilarious.
Re: Ashleigh –
Who cares if you are first or second. Don't count numbers. There is no prize for coming first here.
Anyways, Leave the girl alone. She hasn't done anything wrong so far. I watched few clipping on youtube of her show. She is pretty talented unlike some of us who just sit here and write trash about celebrities.
WTF perez, all the skanks? What about all the skanky rawdog dudes that gave it to them?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HOW U HAVE MILEY CYRUS' PIC UP HERE! I LOVE U PEREZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
WANNA HAND JOB DADDY ????
Listen to me Perez you are more likely to have an STD than anyone you stupid ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Miley Rox!
GOD PEREZ!
of course she is gunna end up like britney if yuo keep on putting her down!
you did that to britney and now look what happend!
and now you feel sorry for her!
IT YOUR FAULT!
ugh miley isss going to stay pure till marriage she made that promise before she was famous and she wil keep it. your just to big of a bitch to realize that.
Ya know, its not like the girls keep the std's in the fridge and use em as they see fit. They are getting em from somebody…who could that be, who could that be?? If the girls have stds, then so do the boys. Hello. Equal opportunity here please.
And whats with Miley? Except she doesnt look like a sweet innocent girl does she?? She looks like T.R.O.U.B.L.E. scary

Give girls something to look up to!
Hillary was right.
why the hell would you relate miley to this? thats a bunch of shit! the girl is pure and innocent and is the only role model for my girls nowadays…thats bullshit!
Leave her alone. Why do you hate her? Jealous much?
Don't blame it on Miley: theres far more skanks out there than her. Look at Paris - she's had more me than a federal prison.
Hey Canadian girl, why don't you think it's the same in Canada? Being a teenage girl yourself does not give you special insight into every other teenage girl's life. I doubt the Canadian border offers any special STD protection upon crossing onto Canadian soil. Get real! This stuff is everywhere! It may be more prevalent in certain areas but no one is immune. That said, there are certainly skanks out there, but I know several ladies who were saddled with HPV, herpes, etc., by the cheating males in their lives. It's very unfair to label these ladies all skanks, Perez. Uncool, man.
perez i love this website
but fucking stop with the miley hating!
please? thank youu
What's the main std for gays Perez. Oh yeah. AIDS.
ew miley cyrus is gross.
WHAT DOES MILEY HAVE TO DO WITH THIS STORY?
ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT SHE HAS AN STD OR SOMETHING?
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE USING HER PHOTO IN THIS WAY.
HAHAHA i LOVVVVVVVEE the picture X]
I would like to know where this information came from.
I definately love how you put a picture of Miley Cyrus to accompany that post.
Well done, Perez, well done.
:D
oh, boo hoo! just because you weren't getting any when you were a teenage girl doesn't give you the right to judge.
I think he used this pic because Miley looked so innocent and cute at first, and then she started looking tarted up like a streetwalker with heavy makeup and skank clothes. My 12-year old says she looks "slutty". She may be relatively innocent still but when Disney is through making a buck off of her she will probably be a used up wreck just like another Disney pop queen!
omgsh this site is horrible why would you put a picture of miley cyrus up here, i think this is where all these nasty rumors start this needs to be deleted, put brittany or jamie spears up here or even lindsay lohan!!!! this is crap, who would belive this stuff and the ppl down there shldnt be posting cmnts ab what they dont kno calling miley a skank and a hoe i mean do they truley kno her or do they kno her from the rumors????
Re: marsha –
THANK GOD SOMEONE IS THINKING ON MY PAGE! JESUS CHRIST PEREZ-
Perez your just mad because your fat orangutan titty ass hasn't had a chance to catch an STD cause ya don't get any you ugly fuck!
http://britneyjeanspears.no.sapo.pt/indexPT.htm
As much as I love this site I find this a horrible misogynistic comment Perez, "we're filled with skanks."
Way to perpetuate the blame of women for STD's. As a woman, I am very offended by this comment.
Sooo you put the pic of a virgin to go with the headline of girls having STD's. Why not Jamie Lynn Spears or someone who, you know, actually HAS sex??? WTF do you hate Miley Cyrus so much? I still think you're jealous that the Jonas Bros. like her more than you and that she went out with Nick. You're so pathetic, fagboy.
loooooove that you have miley as the picture
