Sexual Health Education

Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Columbia, SC

The number one factor influencing high STD rates is believed to be poverty. The city has a high rate to begin with and it is difficult to penetrate deeply into the masses with this vital information that could save their lives. People who lack financial resources are more apt to drop out of school and miss out on sex ed that is routinely offered there. They are also less likely to seek medical attention for testing and treatment because they cannot afford to pay the costs. The lack of understanding about symptoms means that infected persons may unwittingly pass an STD on. In addition, not all STDs produce symptoms in the early stages so when they do appear, it could be far into the progression of the disease and extended damage could be the result including poor health and even death.

Studies show that there is a trend for school age children to contract Chlamydia. This is a statistic that has created the legislature to mandate sex education in all public schools throughout the nation. It is delivered with the hope that reaching middle school aged children will increase their awareness of the dangers of having unprotected sex. They learn where they can go to get HIV testing or a Herpes test.

Trends also consistently show that women contract Chlamydia twice as frequently as men and that those who are age 20 to 24 have the highest incidences. With regard to ethnicity, Blacks have the highest frequency across the board for STD infections, followed by Whites, Hispanics, then Native Americans. Men who participate in male to male sex are at increasing risk for contracting multiple types of STD infections simultaneously. Without the information that is provided by the CDC, we would not have this knowledge or be able to assess what constitutes risk.

The only way to slow the spread of STDs is to make people aware of the dangers of unprotected sex. Campaigns to distribute information that provides the real facts, how to prevent infection, how to recognize symptoms and what to do if you suspect you are infected is the only answer to the problem. The challenge is in reaching the people who are in greatest need.

Some may feel hesitant to get tested because of embarrassment or fear of public exposure. STD testing centers are build around the protection of this sensitive information and go to great lengths to provide confidential and private services. Those who cannot afford to pay the fees may apply for free or reduced costs if they meet the income requirements.
