Two-thirds of STD infections can't be detected without a test. Consider:

  • 1 in 4 Americans have an incurable STD, such as genital warts, Herpes, HIV or Hepatitis for which there is no cure.
  • Since 1980, eight new sexually transmitted types of bacteria or viruses have been identified.
  • Two-thirds of all STDs occur in people age 25 or younger.
  • Fewer than half of adults ages 18 to 44 have been tested for STDs.
  • A woman is twice as likely as a man to acquire an STD during unprotected sex.
  • One in four new STD infections occur in teenagers.
  • One person is newly infected with HIV every 12 minutes in the United States and half of those are between 13 and 25 years old.
