One in Four Women, and Half of African-American Teens Have S.T.D.’s, Study Finds -

Wow, maybe the old folks, and the so-called "religious fanatics" were onto something. Premarital sex may not be that good an idea after all ... Of course the secular fanatics will insist teens simply need "more condoms".

The first national study of common sexually transmitted diseases among teenage women has found that one in four are infected with at least one of the diseases, federal health officials reported on Tuesday.

Nearly half of African-American teenage women were infected with at least one of the diseases monitored in the study — human papillomavirus (H.P.V.), chlamydia, herpes simplex type 2 and trichomoniasis, a common parasite.

That figure compared with 20 percent of white teenage women.

The two most common sexually transmitted diseases (S.T.D.’s) among all the women tested were H.P.V. at 18 percent and chlamydia at 4 percent according to the analysis, which was part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Among the infected women, 15 percent had more than one.

Officials of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that the findings underscore the need for strengthening screening, vaccination and other prevention measures for S.T.D.’s, which are among the country’s highest public health priorities.

“High S.T.D. infection rates among young women, particularly young African-American women, are clear signs that we must continue developing ways to reach those most at risk,” said Dr. John M. Douglas Jr., who directs the centers’ division of S.T.D. prevention.

One must wonder if they put out these reports in order to justify a bigger market for Big Pharma products. Soon the people will be softened to accept this "epidemic" as justification for mandatory HPV vaccines for every girl out of the womb, "for our own good" of course.

And where do you suppose the "screening" will happen? Probably at school.

WTF?
and I only read the main title.

As I'm writing this, I'm in the ER working on a 40 year old brother with AIDS and dialysis dependent coming from a nursing home with a huge nasty ulceration on his tailbone that's infected down to the white meat. In the past 6 months, I have seen a sexually active, cute 16 year old girl born with HIV, and also made a new diagnosis of acute HIV infection in 19 year old brother coming from the nearby college. With men having sex with other men while in prison and going back home to wives and girlfriends upon release, a real but unspoken corollary of the thug pose and gangsta life is HIV exposure.

Denmark Vesey said...

Gotdamn Sub,

You one hell of a brotha.

I don't know if I could deal.

I might have to tell homeboy from the nursing home to just go off in the woods somewhere by himself.

What's the purpose of keeping this cat alive?

I know that sounds cold, but ... to what end?

I'd rather see the resources used to prevent infection, educate about aids and promote marriage and family.

Was the decision to no longer refer to HIV and aids as a "gay disease" a wise, medically accurate move, or was it the product of political pressure and clever marketing on the part of the gay lobby?

going off into the woods to die would leave those helping him without the very valuable experience of doing so, and him without the very valuable experience of being aided by his fellow man. so much to learn, why would anyone want to miss the opportunity.

god manifested man for the blissful experience of it all. who are we (in the ego state of thinking we are somehow separate from the HIV victim and the "whore") to suggest it would be "better" if it were otherwise.

much of our problem might lie in being so busy judging what is better or worse, what should or shouldn't be, that we miss the all important truth/lesson/experience of what IS.

maybe experiencing what IS would put us too close to experiencing who we really are in relationship to it all.

Insurgent you seem particularly retarded and anti-female.
Anti- science also.
Why not protect girls from H.P.V. if they can be protected from it. It leads to cancer sometimes.
It is common. Many women now suffering with horrible effects of cancer.. you would think would wish some thing was available as they suffer from cancer needlessly.

Connecting sex and morality is a fools game.

What if the drunken cheerleader gets banged by 4 guys ?

Is her life a failure?

A good health system would be FREE for everyone on the continent.

But I suppose as a lawyer you understand that free does not work for you ?
You support our money caste system.

Since you will represent any one and lie for any one for a fee ?

Sad... A good public health system would have about eliminated Hiv. from the Continent ... every person receiving at last yearly checkups.

A non profit health care system is a must for a good country.
Our Political Price System will never allow that.

Just another reason why the cork is going to blow out of this game come April 15th. when a whole lot of mostly ignorant but extremely mad people are going to explode.

Paranoid libertarians especially.

Submariner said...

Skip, must you always be so ill-mannered and uncouth in expressing your views?

As for supporting the money system, do you ever buy anything? Do you pay for utilities or rent/own a home? Do you work and file taxes? Do you have life insurance or drive a car? Or do you live in a self-styled commune with other like minded individuals such as yourself and grow your own food and exchange goods and services with each other?

I ask because you seem so obnoxious and secure in your sanctimony. Are you sure that you are not a Pharisee?

Wesley Gibson said...

Damn Intellectual Insurgent,

I was going to put that out as the realistic alternative view but I'm almost certainly too lazy.

Basically this rise doesn't reflect any change in actual contraction of std's and more likely reflects the fact that screening techniques for HPV have gotten better to the point where they actually test for it in the first place. As you may have guessed it, it seems like propoganda (though I think well intentioned) for a push for the Gardasil Vaccine. I'm not sure if I have an opinion of that positive or negative except that its probably messed up that they're appealing to peoples base fears of an overrun of immorality that likely doesn't exist.

J.C. said...

"I ask because you seem so obnoxious and secure in your sanctimony. Are you sure that you are not a Pharisee?"

Tell me something ? Are you sure that you are not a brain washed robot?

I have never sold out. Can you say the same?

Do you even know the dynamic of how this system works ? Are you just another slave for the thought police ?
Would you know alternative if it bit you in the ass and hung on ?

Just rhetorical questions sub.

Intellectual Insurgent said...

Why not protect girls from H.P.V. if they can be protected from it. It leads to cancer sometimes.

My my, Skip is parroting the propaganda of the Money System folks and calling me retarded? LOL!! That's funny.

HPV almost always goes away on its own and leads to cervical cancer in like 1 in a million cases.

You've drank the Kool-Aid Skipper.

And therein lies the contradiction in Skip's secular worship of government - it's ok for the government to "screen" for disease and force us to take their toxic "cures", but any personal choice we make is bad because it's a product of the flawed system.

Submariner said...

Are you just another slave for the thought police ?


Just like a white person, always lookin' for slaves, trying to save one or own one...not much difference as we are learning right about now.

J.C. said...

"Why not protect girls from H.P.V. if they can be protected from it. It leads to cancer sometimes."

You really are an idiot Insurgent. People with H.P.V. are carefully screened for cancer of the cervix after their diagnosis because it then becomes a real issue as to getting that form of cancer. Hpv. is common among women. You really are an ignorant person.

''And therein lies the contradiction in Skip's secular worship of government -''
Again... play the idiot Insurgent. You really are clueless to any thing I have said here. Fool.

Subs comment...

You know what. Fuck you. And the horse you rode in on.
Honest language without flowering and filigree does not appeal to some.
Besides... No one knows the color of my skin .. race ... etc.
So dumb ass. Play the fool with a comment like that.

Alas, that is what you and maybe a few others would love and need to believe. If you were a black man you would NEVER insult Intellectual Insurgent, a woman and one who recently gave birth at that, in such fashion. Your contempt for people on this forum is Clintonian. It's what white folks do when they're outmatched by persons of color. You can't help it. But after several months of hangin out with DV and watching Barack Obama just light that ass up, I'm hip to yall's game..... all right, no left, weak crossover, can't pull up and hit the J from 18 feet, fairly aggressive defender but easily gets into foul trouble.

Intellectual Insurgent said...

Like I said Skip, you've drank the Kool-Aid. Keep parroting the propaganda about HPV since it fits your world view in which women should be dirty whores.

For someone who thinks religion is bullshit, you sure are devout in your recitations of the secular drug-peddling dogma.

J.C. said...

Arguing on the internet .. is like winning a race in the special Olympics. You may win.. but you are still retarded.
Flame on flame warrior with dumbed down bullshit.
Insurgent is a big girl.
She is not really stupid.. just ignorant. Education cures that.. but people resist that because of their beliefs.
She gave birth. Sweet. Another kid to turn into a zombie for the price System.
No doubt she is putting money away now for health care and education.. so it can grow up to be like Mommy. A scam artist.
A lawyer.
So Sub... if you wanna try and play intellectual fine. If you want to be a dumb shit fine also.
D.V. has certain fantasy's about who I am .
I guess you do also.
I do not care.
I am not here to make friends or play nice.
I am here because D.V. has a nice forum and he gets at a lot of ideas.
So flame monger of skin ... race or what ever.
Flame on.

You know ... that is one of those ... inexplicable yet self-evident and undeniable truths.

Good point Sub.

Wish I had said it.

Submariner said...

Anytime, DV. By the way, did you note the use use of 'brother' in the above passage? They're just so conspicuous. Like Hillary's 'pride' in Jesse Jackson and Barack Obama. I feel like I live a true life version of The Matrix but I see the game now for what it is. You simply take note of their deficiencies and surpass them on every objective indicator. If you lose then the game itself is dishonored and exposed for the fallacy that it is. If you win......just ask Tiger.

J.C. said...

Self evident and undeniable ?
I deny it.
It is not self evident.

I do not come here to get my back scratched.
I do not care if any one likes me.
I have my own world to live through and I ain't gonna copy you.

I guess O.J. was not a black man either other wise he would not a killed his wife right ?
You guys can be comical. Ha ha.

Womens honor. What a joke.
Besides I did not insult her.
Just told the truth. There is a difference.
She is a crooked lawyer.
All lawyers are crooked.
Scam artists for the Man.

J.C. said...

Ok.. retard.. Want me to call you sister ?

How about Ma ma.
What do you think this is. A forum for bigots ?
You sound like a phucking bigot man.. your language. You drunk or something?

Submariner said...

Ah yes, O.J. I guess it was just a matter of time before he made an appearance. Like the chance use of the word 'brother' by someone who hasn't used it twice in the last six months as a term of affection with a white male who wasn't a sibling. And, oh yeah, retard. The use of narcissistic standardized tests to objectify others and denigrate them and elevate yourself. No emotional component to it just science and facts. So if the student is taught by an uncouth teacher who holds personal contempt for him and flunks an examination then the student is a retard. Call the teacher out for their failure and inconsistency then you become attacked as a bigot. The teacher is both victim and victimizer. Quite Clintonian in all its permutations, don't you think?

J.C. said...

No... I think you stupid.

Submariner said...

Why, Skip, is that anyway to talk to your "brother?"

J.C. said...

Hey man you are acting more like someones bitch than someones brother.

Your girlfriend cut you off .. and your sublimating anger here for some reason ?

Your comical if you think I could care less about politics.
Clintonian or Obamaian.
The American Political Price System TNAT info.
America sucks... and that means all the brainwashed people like Insurgent and her minions.
Libertarian freaks.. Obama lovers.. and Hillary flunky's.

I like you Skip.

You are kind of a pet project of mine.

An experiment.

"Is soul contagious"?

J.C. said...

Not a chance.
I know too much.
Plus I already got plenty of soul. You oughta here me stretch out on my guitar.

As the system spirals down and disintegrates into chaos.. the Technate design for North America becomes more attractive.

That design provides free health care.. free housing.. free transportation.. and free everything.
Unlike the phony religion stuff that many people embrace along with the phony preachers that promote it .. this design actually does bring abundance. It gets rid of money.. and as said.. there would not be much of any sexually transmitted diseases because the population would have top notch health care.. all of the population. For free.
There would not be ''rich'' or ''poor'' either.

The problem is the Price System.
That system comes from Babylon.
People believe in it.
It is in the process of killing everyone for money and control of what they refer to as 'sheep'.
In modern day terms.. 'the brainwashed'.

Submariner said...

Hey man you are acting more like someones bitch than someones brother.

Skip, have you talked like that to even two white men in the last six months? I greatly doubt it. You're impression of blacks is formed by what you see on television and in movies. You probably haven't had dinner or gone to the movies with a black man in the last year. I'm sure that you don't live next to one. Based on your recurring appearance at Denmark Vesey, the inappropriate and excessive use of the bitch reference and the earlier brother reference, I'm willing to bet that you watch a fair amount of interracial gay porn. I don't necessarily have a problem with that. But I'm strictly hetero and partial to Black Ice, myself.

Contrary to what you may believe or think, you're racial baggage comes across quite conspicuously over the keyboard. Any educated black person raised in America could read this exchange and know that you are a white man. We've been under your foot for so long that we know your shoe size. We've been in your kitchen and doing your laundry, too, so we know where the sugar is and that your draws have shit stains.

You aroused my ire when you gratuitously dismissed a woman and new mother. Maybe it's the husband and father in me, but I wasn't willing to let that shit slide. Popular myths and statistics notwithstanding, brothers been holding it down since the Middle Passage.

If you go back and peruse the comments section of the last six months, you are the only person to use the word retard. I know you think it's just a word, like kid, with no racial overtones, but you're wrong. Retard is a subhuman designation like nigger. Not as overtly brutal but similar in its destructive intent. In the last two centuries retards were commonly known as mongoloids. They were sterilized and subject to whimsical fantasies and grim experiments. Europeans had no moral reservations about doing this because after all they were just monkeys that could talk. Like you, these scientists and public health officials didn't see a mother, a sister, or someone's child - just a retard. So Skip, only a white man or immature adolescent could call a human with special needs or pervasive developmental disorder a curse word. It's not in the black adult's vocabulary.

I called you out on your flaws and in Ferraro fashion you called me a bigot. You then came back and reiterated your assertion about Intellectual Insurgent as a retard and this time included her child in your venomous disregard and contempt that you reserve for colored folks and women.

You say that you are not here to make friends or have your back scratched. That's fine. But only a white man would confuse mere civility with coddling. You, like Senator Clinton and many whites of a certain age, don't care who you hurt or insult as long as you get some.

Submariner said...

By the way, Skip, soul is not about music. It's about a vigorous embrace of life and the living that sometimes comes out as music. And mainstream politics sparks my keen interest for the same reason that it did Shakespeare and Sophocles. It's the personal human drama played out in real life on a national stage. If you don't like it then all I can do is quote Julius Caesar:


Would he were fatter! But I fear him not:
Yet if my name were liable to fear,
I do not know the man I should avoid
So soon as that spare Cassius. He reads much;
He is a great observer and he looks
Quite through the deeds of men: he loves no plays,
As thou dost, Antony; he hears no music;
Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort
As if he mock'd himself and scorn'd his spirit
That could be moved to smile at any thing.
Such men as he be never at heart's ease
Whiles they behold a greater than themselves,
And therefore are they very dangerous.
I rather tell thee what is to be fear'd
Than what I fear; for always I am Caesar.
Come on my right hand, for this ear is deaf,
And tell me truly what thou think'st of him.

Submariner said...

Sorry, Skip. I should have told you to protect ya neck, brother.

Again, just like a white man. Always thinking they're smarter and better than somebody else. Just like Hillary and Geraldine's unsubstantiated take on Barack. No where did I say anything about being your superior, intellectual or otherwise. I just exposed your callous disregard for people. As a concept, you don't hate humanity or coloreds, but a real exchange with a live, breathing person is another story.

J.C. said...

Note the Ferraro gene's expression. I point out the incendiary nature of his comment especially in a forum attended by blacks but I'm cited as a "Race flame warrior." Still using words not in the black man's vocabulary: dildo as an insult? You expose yourself even further. Quit now while you have some privacy left. What do I know? I'm "the dark baby."

Boy got heart.

Show me a brother, who is a regular contributor to a forum of white bloggers, who endures as many racial insults, innuendo and virtual xenophobia as Skip encounters here.

Tavis Smiley and Al Sharpton would be all up in the mix.

Mike Fisher and Exodus Mentality would be linking to it as further PROOF of the Global System of White Supremacy!

Skip is a cantankerous ol' fanatical secularist, fanastically committed to a religion he doesn't even know exists ... but he aint no punk.

J.C. said...

Hey man .. now you made me laugh.

This blog turns some stuff over and gets some stuff out.

That is good because pretty soon in the larger world things are going to get very confusing for about 98% of the American public.
Our system is literally going to fall apart.
Lets hope that something good happens.
The Fed bailed out Bear Stearns today.
J.P. Morgan put up the money and was bankrolled by the Fed.

This type of stuff along with the Fed bailing out the Bank of England and the Swiss banking and Euro banking system is driving the Libertarians.. the believers in the Illuminati .. the conspiracy and even the U.F.O. believers in the Lizards from space absolutely ape shit. They are about to explode as our system is about to crash.
Keep in mind that riots in America and Europe are going to start April 15th.
Keep in mind that we will be living in a collapsed political Price System by summer... and that we may be experiencing a civil war between the Military/American people and the Globalism controllers that control our Political system.

In other words this is going to be the summer that determines the fate of North America.

Are we all ready for it ?

It is NOT going to have any thing what so ever to do with old issues of race ... at least I hope the hell not.
This one will be about class warfare... The American public being screwed out of their resource base.. and lied to on every level for the benefit of the big money people that control globalism.

I caution all parties here to not get involved in the coming riots.. but to try and learn about the actual dynamic of what is going to happen.

The Technate design does not care what people believe in. If the Christians or Muslims or Jews or whoever the phuck figured out that what religion has always promised ... abundant life is actually within our grasp now in a system run by science and not perception of morality or opinion... it is thought that many would sign on.

We are not against anyone. We are for every single North American citizen. Equally. In a non money system based on abundance within the resource base.
It is a non political system that precludes special interest groups whether there is one person or a million people in that special interest group.. they would have no power to enslave another with opinions.

Right now we are stuck with the blind leading the blind.. Hillary.. Bush. . Obama.. etc.

There is NO hope with the current system. We can change into a good society.
That window of opportunity will close though if we destroy our resource base.

Um, people...do you not realize that these "girls" are contracting STDs from boys? Theyre not giving them to each other! Women are more likely to show symptoms of these diseases and therefore seek treatment than men are. So until we begin testing the men - which aint never gon' happen (apparently yall dont like having a Q-Tip shoved down your urethras) - we wont really know how much damage we're doing to ourselves.

Oh, PS, there are over 100 different strains of HPV. 70% of sexually active Americans have been infected with it at one point. The shot only protects women from a few of those strains. So, sex is still a crapshoot.

L
