CDC Names April as STD Awareness Month

Submitted by Angie Fri 04/09/2010

One in two sexually active young adults will get a sexually transmitted disease by 25. It's a staggering statistic and just one reason why the CDC recognizes April as STD Awareness Month, an annual observance to raise awareness about the impact of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) on the health of Americans and the importance of individuals discussing sexual health with their healthcare providers and, if sexually active, their partners.

Many untreated STDs can cause long-term problems like infertility or birth defects.
