Despite claiming abstinence, young adults test positive for STDs – The Chart - CNN.com Blogs: Among those who had an STD, 10% claimed in a large national survey that they abstained from sex. Some young adults may have simply forgotten that they had sex or acquired the infections before the 12-month period they were asked about in the survey. There is also the potential they could have actually had other forms of sexual behavior that could have led to them testing positive for an STD.
