According to a recent study by the Center for Disease Control, at least one in four teenage girls in the United States has a sexually transmitted infection. This statistic translates to over 3 million teenagers infected.

A 2003-04 government health survey conducted by Center for Disease Control researcher Dr. Sarah Forhan tested 838 girls for four infections. Of these girls, 18 percent had the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), 4 percent had Chlamydia, 2.5 percent has Trichomoniasis and 2 percent had the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV).
