Latest
  • STDs are on the rise, especially among the young. Health authorities from the UK report a 3% rise in cases of STIs in the past two years and they believe that young adults are responsible for the upward trend.

Two-thirds of new cases of STDs were reported in women under 25. 66% of the new cases of genital warts and 88% of chlamydia were found in young women. “These latest figures show that poor sexual health is a serious problem among the UK’s young adults and men who have sex with men,” remarked a doctor from the Health Protection Agency.
