STDs Run Rampant at Pa. School District, CDC Steps In

A Pennsylvania school district has such a high number of students with sexually transmitted diseases that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stepped in to track down students at risk for HIV.

It’s estimated that 10 percent of the 3,000 middle and high school students in the Delaware Valley School District in Milford, P.A., are infected with an STD — including one confirmed case of HIV, Times Herald Record reported Friday.

On top of those figures, about two dozen teenage girls in the school system have tested positive for pregnancy.

A non-profit health clinic in Milford said they estimate more than 300 students contracted a sexually transmitted disease in the past year. Officials also told the paper students as young as 12 years old reported being sexually active.

This is a companion story to the pregnancy pact story, very worrying.

This is very worrysome. I don't normally believe in taking hurtful measures, but maybe some should be taken to contain the situation. I was originally thinking a different school for the time being, but kids still meet up.

I'll thank a society of adults that won't set a good example and who won't talk much to kids about sex.

I blame a society and court system that punishes street preachers while rewarding movies like "Sex in the City," shows like "Desperate Housewives," and can't seem to find a law against any other filth...all while they snicker at abstinence education, hand out free condoms everywhere, and think Purity Balls are somehow related to incest.

I agree. Most of the prime time TV shows on nowadays have sex as the main theme.
