摘要：

CONTEXT: In the United States, young people aged 15-24 represent 25% of the sexually experienced population. However, the incidence and prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among this age-group are unknown. METHODS: Data from a variety of sources were used to estimate the incidence and prevalence of STDs among 15-24-year-olds in the United States in 2000. The quality and reliability of the estimates were categorized as good, fair or poor, depending on the quality of the data source. RESULTS. Approximately 18.9 million new cases of STD occurred in 2000, of which 9.1 million (48%) were among persons aged 75-24. Three STDs (human papillomovirus, trichomoniasis and chlamydia) accounted for 88% of all new cases of STD among 15-24-year-olds. CONCLUSIONS. These estimates emphasize the toll that STDs hove on American youth. More representative data ore needed to help monitor efforts at lowering the burden of these infections.
