STDS
Most birth control methods do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), nor is there any birth control that is 100% reliable in preventing pregnancy.
“STDs are the most common diseases in America next to the common cold and flu.”
“More than 1 in 5 Americans are presently infected with an STD.”
‘”5 million people become newly infected with STDs yearly-41,000 per day.”
“STDs can cause chronic pain and permanent damage.”
“1/4 of STD infections occur in teens and 2/3 of them occur in people under the age of 25.”
“65 million Americans are infected with an incurable STD.”
“35-50 different kinds of STDs exist.”
“STDs infect 3.75 million teenagers each year, over 10,000 new cases per day.”
“STDs are contagious even though no symptoms exist”
