STDs remain a major public health challenge in the United States. CDC estimates approximately 19 million new STD infections each year – almost half of them among young people. A recent report, Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance, 2008, found the largest number of reported cases of both chlamydia and gonorrhea in 2008 were among girls between 15 and 19 years of age. CDC estimates that undiagnosed and untreated STDs cause at least 24,000 women in the United States each year to become infertile. When detected early, treatment is relatively simple.
