The government has made available health clinics where check up’s to know your status on STD’s are free. Clinics are also places where treatment can be given, if a certain STD is found and is treatable. Many students are embarrassed or scared to know their status and would rather just live their lives, not knowing their status. This mindset among citizens is very selfish, which can lead to the danger of others. In the sense of a woman knowing her status, she will be able to determine if birth is still an option if a certain STD has affected her fertility. Offspring’s are also kept safe, so parents can make wise decisions on whether diseases would be passed on off

All of these side effects are completely avoidable. The definition of “abstinence” is “Abstinence from sexual activity outside of marriage as expected standard for all school age children (Kim). It is emphasized as a healthy lifestyle and is explained by its effect on social, psychological, and health aspects. She cites that “Studies have shown that abstinent teens report, on average better psychological well being and higher educational attainment than those who are sexually active. She makes sure to repeat the claim that early sexual encounters can cause early irreparable psychological damage. A 2010 study in medical journal archives of pediatrics concludes that a abstinence only education reduced sexual initiation in the group of African-American adolescents. Two years later one third of the participants had initiated in sexual activity. “By

The rate of incidence is more prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa with almost 1 in every 24 adults living with HIV/AIDS. In the united states, HIV/AIDS is a diversified health problem affecting all sexes, ages and races and involving the transmission of multiple risk behavior. However, with the introduction of various prevention programs and antiretroviral drugs, the incidence of HIV/AIDS has reduced.

As a human being, we are faced with several pathogens that can cause harm to our body. As health care professional, we are encouraged to obtain knowledge about these different types of diseases; so that we can educate and as well as treat the patient diagnosis.

There is no reason to not inform teens of all choices they can make. The only way to even come close to ending this war is for everyone to stress the importance of a

In a generation, where being forever young is the motto and a mindset of being invincible convinces various young adults to live a high-risk lifestyle, unsafe sex is one of the many risky and at times dangerous behaviors that young people take a part in. There are many factors that may lead to this misconstrued judgement. Either these young adults are being ill informed, simply just do not care or are not receiving proper education on the topic of sex and its many pros and cons. Each time they indulge in these risky behaviors they are dancing with the devils of (a)STD 's the most important and deadly which is HIV, (b)increasing the chances of becoming impregnated at a young age, and (c)missing out on opportunities and goals they set out for themselves previous to these unfortunate, life changing encounters.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) threaten nearly everyone in the modern environment. However, with the introduction of the condoms and an intense campaign to adopt a healthy behavior can salvage the situation. Apart from the STDs, it is important for the society to protect the society against the worst scourge, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). According to Helweg-Larsen and Collins (1994), condoms can rarely prevent the infection of STDs and HIV, but it can reduce the risk of the disease and unplanned pregnancies. It is also evident that the fatal prognosis of the human immunodeficiency virus infection has encouraged the use of condoms. The intervention program would persuade the people to change their healthy behaviors by adopting the use of condoms in reducing the risk of STDs and HIV infections.

The use of condoms can help this problem. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “Consistent and correct use of latex condoms is highly effective in preventing sexual transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, lab studies have shown that latex condoms provides an effective barrier against even the smallest STD pathogens. Condom effectiveness for STD and HIV prevention has been demonstrated by both laboratory and epidemiologic studies. Evidence of condom effectiveness is also based on theoretical and empirical data regarding the transmission of different STD’s.” Using condoms during sexual activities is the safest way of protecting yourself from any possible STD’s spreading. The latex condoms provide protection from the reproductive organs directly making

People say that sex education teaches the students about how sexual intercourse is done but the truth is sex education lets the students know about the consequences and the truth about sex.

Also, it teaches students on what is right and what is wrong.

Since the first outbreak of HIV in the 1980s the annual number of new cases has dropped by more than two- thirds since the 1990s. This is a result of new and advanced treatments for the disease. The government on the national, state, and local levels are working together to try to prevent new cases of HIV by educating the public and providing medical care to infected individuals. The largest group new cases of HIV infections are of men who have sex with men. The CDC is keeping track of how many new cases are arising and how many individuals are taking advantage of the services that are provided.
