Walking Our Talk! Disease Prevention saves lives and health-care costs!
With CDC reporting in 08 that 27% of teenage girls in the U.S. have a STD/STI (infection).
The question is, "how many are infected that have gone unreported, for years without symptoms or are
stigmatized (The HIDDEN FACTOR)"? In 07 CDC urged that all between the ages of 13 to 64, when seen
in medical facilities, be HIV tested. 2009's enthusiasm for change has furthered "health risks
straight talk" and student service opportunities in the "I AM GETTING TESTED" "ARE YOU?" campaign
to assist in service to overcome America's STD and HIV/AIDS epidemics/stigma.
President Obama campaign "quotes" on sexually transmitted diseases STD's:
"The most important prevention is education that should include abstinence only education,
and teaching children that sex is not something casual…include information about contraception…
I've got two daughters, 9 and 6 years old, if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished
with an STD at the age of 16"…it doesn't make sense to not give them information…You still want
to teach them the morals and the values to make good decisions… Focus on HIV/AIDS, we've got to
get out of that stigma …All is connected to prevention!" (March 29 CNN "Ballot Bowl 2008 interview")
