What Sexual Hedonism has done for a Country (America) including tens
of thousands whove died from AIDS and HPV :
One out of 4 women and one out of 5 men have no knowledge about their
sexual partners' history.
Two-thirds of 1,000 women age 18 to 60 knew nothing or very little
about STDs (other than HIV/AIDS) in 1995.
The highest at-risk groups are adolescents and gays. African American
and Hispanic women are also in the high-risk group.
The rate of unwanted pregnancies and incidence of disease is
alarming...
Random facts and figures.
* One out of 4 women and one out of 5 men have no knowledge about
their sexual partners' history.
* Two-thirds of 1,000 women age 18 to 60 knew nothing or very little
about STDs (other than HIV/AIDS) in 1995.
* The highest at-risk groups are adolescents and gays. African
American and Hispanic women are also in the high-risk group.
* The rate of unwanted pregnancies and incidence of disease is
alarming.
* There are over 15,000,000 new cases of STDs a year.
* Over 70,000 Americans have a viral STD--like genital herpes, HIV/
AIDS, or Hepatitis B.
* Individuals under 25 have two-thirds of the STD cases in the U.S.
* 1 out of 4 teens will contract an STD.
* 1,000,000 teenage pregnancies each year.
Rates of curable STD cases in the U.S. are the highest in the
developed world.
* There are 150 STD cases per 100,000 in the U.S. versus 3 cases per
100,000 in Sweden.
* Over 70,000 Americans have viral STD--like genital herpes, HIV/
AIDS, or hepatitis B.
* Viral STDs such as HPV, herpes, and hepatitis B are lifelong
diseases.
* Many people experience no noticeable symptoms initially, but can
still pass on the disease.
* Women are up to 5 times more likely to become infected and suffer
more serious consequences.
Over 20,000 new cases of HIV/AIDS are diagnosed each year in the U.S.
* 62% of those cases reported before 1996 have died (319,000
Americans).
* Women now represent 30% of new HIV/AIDS cases reported.
* 75% of the cases are from heterosexual sex.
* 3 out of 5 Americans with HIV were infected as teens.
* HIV infection rates are 10 times higher when STDs are not treated
properly.
Sexual habits reinforce the need to use condoms.
* Age of sexual maturity is decreasing; age of marriage is
increasing.
* More sex, more partners, more risk.
* 46% of teens (14-18) have had intercourse.
* 50% divorce rate means reentering the dating scene to deal with new
health challenges.
