Abstract

Half of all United States high school students are sexually experienced [33]. Female adolescents bear the highest rates of many STIs. Many adolescents infected with STIs report no symptoms suggestive of their infections. Health care providers who see adolescents should be poised to implement effective STI control through risk assessment, disease screening, and CDC-recommended treatment and prevention counseling.
