Overview

In the United States, nearly 20 million cases of new STD infections are reported each year, and fifty percent of new infections occur in young people from ages 15 to 24. This subject is unfortunately a very common reality of your teen readers, so give them a balanced, informative survey of several issues relating to STDs. Across four chapters of collected essays, readers will evaluate whether STDs are a serious problem, whether sex education is effective, whether the U.S. Global AIDS Policy is effective, and whether mandatory HIV testing would save lives. Essay sources include the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
