Virus that causes cervical cancer most common, government study finds<\/h2>\n

\"\"CHICAGO<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 Startling government research on teenage girls and sexually transmitted diseases sends a blunt message to kids who think they\u2019re immune: It\u2019s liable to happen to you or someone you know.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the first study of its kind, researchers at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a> found at least one in 4 teenage American girls has a sexually transmitted disease.<\/p>\n

The most common one is a virus that can cause cervical cancer, and the second most common can cause infertility. Nearly half the black teens in the study had at least one sexually transmitted infection, versus 20 percent among both whites and Mexican-American teens.<\/p>\n

The study, released Tuesday at an STD prevention conference, has adolescent-health specialists pointing to possible reasons and offering potential solutions.<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
