A study released in March 2008 from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) suggests that 26 percent or approximately 3.2million teenage girls between the ages of 14 and 19 are infected with some form of sexually transmitted disease such as Human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, and trichomoniasis
African American teenage girls are the most highly affected with almost half or 48% of them found to be infected with an STD. The study shows one fifth of white teenage girls or 20% to be STD infected.
