14. THE QUESTION WAS: Besides being a mortal sin that hurts God more than we can
imagine, premarital sex brings sexually transmitted diseases. How many people
in the U.S. have an incurable STD?
a. 6,500
b. 65,000
c. 650,000
d. 65,000,000
THE ANSWER IS……D
About 65 million in this country alone! (Source:
Centers for Disease Control & Prevention) There are only about 100 million
households in the United States. That means that for every two households,
there is at least one person with an incurable STD. About 20 million of these
cases are HPV (human papillomavirus)
HPV is the virus that causes most cervical
cancer, which is killing more women than AIDS. It is rampant on college
campuses and elsewhere. Medical studies show that condoms offer very little
protection against HPV. A CDC (Centers
for Disease Control) report released in early 2004 stated that an unbelievable
80 percent of women will have acquired an HPV infection by age 50. Access the
