Abstract
During this 10-min presentation, at least 50 adolescents across the United States will acquire one or more sexually transmitted diseases. Some of these diseases can fortunately be treated and cured; however, other diseases will remain with these young people for the rest of their lives, causing dramatic physical and psychological repercussions. During the brief time allotted to me, I will discuss some of the pertinent statistics related to sexually transmitted diseases among adolescents, review the Health Objectives for the Year 2000, and suggest means for realizing these objectives.
