- Statistics on Sexually Transmitted Diseases
One of the most essential things you must understand about sexual encounters is that they are not without risk. Not only is the possibility of pregnancy a concern, but there are also numerous STDs that can be quite dangerous. Each year, the United States reports more than 20 million new cases of STDs/STIs.
Because of this, education is extremely essential. The fact that half of the new cases of STDs each year occur in individuals aged 15 to 24 is one of the most frightening aspects of these statistics. The United States leads the world in terms of STD infections.
Trichomoniasis is the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease (STD) worldwide and in the United States. Not only is it essential to understand the risks of sexual activity, but also to be familiar with the symptoms of STDs such as trichomoniasis.
