PositiveSingles’ New Data Shows Increase in Youth Infected with STDs

PositiveSingles.com has just released new data which revealed that 31.7% of young people between 18 and 28 years of age have been infected with herpes. This is a whopping 7.7% increase from the 24.0% that it was last year. It can only mean that young people within this age group are engaging in unprotected sex at alarmingly higher rates than ever before.

There are mixed opinions as to why there is such an increase in STD infections amongst the youth. Some critics just reiterate the common complaint that online pornography and sexually explicit films are poisoning the minds of young people and making them more sexually promiscuous at an early age. However, this theory still does not explain why so many youths choose to have unprotected sex versus having protected sex. The real answer may be that schools are not doing enough to educate the youth about the dangers of unprotected sex. That is why more singles websites like PositiveSingles.com are stepping in to provide some of this education on their own.
“I believe that more sexual education is needed for our young people in order to reduce these drastically high rates of STD infections,” Suny, the PositiveSingles.com spokesperson said. “We always encourage all our members to practice safe sex whenever they are thinking of becoming sexually involved with someone else, whether it with another member or not.”

PositiveSingles.com is quoted as being the “largest and most trusted dating and support website for STD singles.” They do not just help single STD sufferers find dates, though. There are also blogs and community groups which can educate new STD sufferers in how to manage their disease while trying to live a fully active and social lifestyle.

More importantly, this tightly knit community will always encourage safe sex practices to other members whenever they are meeting someone through the website or not. Even though the members on the website all likely have STDs, or are at least aware that other members have STDs, safe sex ensures that members don’t spread a new disease to someone else that they don’t already have.
