HPV: Stop the Epidemic

Casual sex couldn't become more casual on college campuses. With students willing to be more sexually adventurous today, they forget the negative effects that can come along with their choices. Millions of college students are being infected by a STD called Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is among the most contagious sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 20 million people are currently infection with HPV.

Those people most at risk are high school and college students. The California Medical Association Foundation says that 60% of sexually active females are infected with HIV.

Because this number is so high and so many college students are sexually active, it's extremely important to follow the rules of safe sex. It's impossible for males to be tested for HPV so I have 3 words for you: Condoms, condoms, condoms!!!
