Venereal disease epidemic hits teenagers, experts warn
UPI reports VD cases surge among youth with gonorrhea and syphilis rising. In 1973 about 750 000 gonorrhea cases were reported, with over 500 000 among under 25, and teen ages 10 to 19 saw thousands of new infections. Syphilis climbed since 1969, with 20 to 24-year-olds hottest at 42.1 per 100 000, and teens contributing over 4 000 cases. Experts say actual numbers are higher, potentially quadruple official counts, due to underreporting and widespread transmission. Reasons include more teens, increased sexual activity, and poor awareness.
