You know, if people with STDs just stopped having sex, all of these terrible diseases would cease to be an issue. (That goes for guys as well as girls)

But it should. At least for HIV.

Some people believe that it isn't necessarily sexually transmitted

I know this for a fact because I contracted genital warts without ever having any sexual contact with anyone. Nobody can reasonably expect to avoid contracting genital HPV in his or her lifetime.

In light of this and the ubiquity of HPV strains, I am not surprised by the figure of one quarter. That said, I am interested to read what the figures are for sexually transmitted diseases other than HPV.

That's quite an unreasonable demand to make. For one thing, many people are carriers of STDs without even knowing it themselves.

Well, those who know they have an STD and continue to have sex should be considered criminal as they are putting others at risk.

That legislation would be unenforceable.

It is very disturbing that this has happened. People need to think with thier brain and other parts of the body.

STDs have ruined alot of lives,and some of these people wil have to live with this for the rest of their lives.
