1 In 4 Teenage Girls Having Sex Have An STD, "Boys Not Excused"

Story here. A couple of weeks ago I posted a story about teenage girls and STD's. I was annoyed that the survey ignored boys but this article goes a step further. Lets blame the boys! Pay close attention to the picture in the story. Excerpt:

"This has got to be one of the most alarming studies of teenagers or is it? A recent study by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) shows that one in four teenage girls has an STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) with the most common infection being HPV (human papilloma virus). An alarming 18 percent of teen girls apparently have the virus and if you compare that to the 40 percent of the girls ages 14-19 in the study who were sexually active, that's almost half of all young women who are having sex have contracted the disease.
...
Though this study was on teenage girls, it in no way excuses teenage boys, men can, and do, get HPV and other diseases. All teens and parents are encouraged to be more aware."
