Many people have asked, do we really have that many STD’s in our area? The attachment shows our rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis for the year 2017.

Wow! What a great service! Will you be able to answer the anonymous questions on this forum, so that others may also learn? Or are you planning to respond to the text messages themselves?
Chrissy B replied 6 years, 2 months ago

Great question! I would like to do both to spread awareness.

Jennifer Corder uploaded the file: Talking to Teens about Sex (For parents) to STD’s and STI’s: What’s going on down there? 6 years, 2 months ago

Chrissy posted about the fact that 50% of STI’s occur in the 15-24 year old age group (even though they make up only 25% of the sexually active population). I have uploaded a document from the CDC that offers guidance to parents on how to talk to their teens about sex, since teens are included in this high incidence population.

Did you know, according the the CDC (2017), people between the ages of 15-24 account for half of the new STD’s each year?
