Yeah, but it's still a big deal,
because it is still an STD. |

std is a big deal, most are curable, but if not detected, and treated early, stds can have long-term health consequences ie. fertility problems in women. Not to mention if someone has an std they can spread the thing around to other people. In short, it's a big deal. |

depends which one you have. some of them are an inconvenience, some of them effect your fertility, some have no symptoms until it's too late. some of them can make you insane (literally) and a couple of them can actually kill you.
ALWAYS USE A CONDOM |

i'd say they're pretty bad. 1. it just goes to show you may not take care of yourself. 2. you can spread them to others which is really bad. 3. people here you have an STD, they're just like ew. and dont wanna be near you. just because a lot of women may have one, doesnt make them okay. if you've got one.. id say see a doctor. |

I think it's a big deal....women have enough problems with their bodies without the addition of an STD. (Oh yeah, I guess the correct term now is STI, NOT std?) |

It depends on WHAT STD you have. AIDS is also an STD. The POINT of the article was the particular one that causes cervical cancer..............yes, it is a big deal.............and very very sad. |

Most are curable with antibiotics, but some, like herpes and hepatitis and HIV, cannot be cured. Those are more serious.
The seriousness comes when they are untreated. Untreated HPV can cause cervical cancer and untreated chlamydia and gonorrhea can make you sterile. |

the statistic was 1 in 4 teenage american girls. not women. |

That is a scary statistic! It's a big deal if you have one that can't be cured!!! |

To me it would always be a big deal! I wouldn't want one no matter what kind it was, but there are STDs out there with NO CURE and if that's not a big deal for you, what about the STDs that just kill you? |

it depends on what std it is.. some have worse symptoms..
and a lot of std's r treatable by medication so maybe that's why they don't seem so bad.. |

Big enough to definitely not want to have it. |

Eh...you shouldn't look at it so lightly. If you do, soon that statistic will be 4 in every 4 women have STDs. Be careful. Some STDs are just painful, and some are deadly. Either way an STD is not something you want....I'd hope. |

yeah honey any std is bad. seriously. and most of the women who have them dont even know that they do. thats why its important to protect yourself and get tested. dont be ignorant.
one in four is a lot. think about it. out of four of your closest friends, one of you have an std. does that make you understand any better? |

Most of the women I know can't drive a std. They prefer automatics. I personally enjoy shifting gears in a std.shift car. |

It's not okay! It get passes to anyone that comes in contact with it and you are stuck with it for the rest of your life. It's a disease, no disease is good. |

Statistics are so stupid, they just make it seem like a lot of people have it. But the main thing is that people dont tell any one that they have it so probably that is right but it is a big deal. you can die from it. |

There are different kinds. Some are no big deal. Some are lethal. It depends on the STD |

Well I had Gonorrhea when I was pregnant ( the guy I was with was sleeping around) . Gonorrhea is curable with anti-biotics as its a bacterial infection and not viral.Herpes is a viral infection its treatable but not curable - it will be with you until the day you die.Some are very fatal if not treated - aids and syphilis but all if not treated lead to complications.Gonorrhea can cause blindness in babies and sterilization via inflammation in men and women.
Yes they are a big deal, sad that they are on the rise. Just because someone doesn't look sick doesn't mean they aren't. Some of those things don't show classic symptoms and people won't always be so candid with you. |

They almost certainly took a terrible sample poll, and have a terrible conclusion.
There's no possible way that 25% of women have an STD..
And most STDs are a big deal. |

It depends on the STD, I have a feeling. A deadly one would be awful. A painful one would be the next worst.
Then there's the sense of responsibility--don't want to give it to anyone, right? Too bad the person you got it from didn't feel that way.
Shame? Maybe. How many men have one? You don't quote that statistic. It would have been nice to see just for the sake of fairness. |

THAT is exactly the problem --people are "getting around" too good. |

It matters how serious it is...if its herpes, you will live with medication. you wont die...
But if its aids you will die. |

I would not want to have one! It is a big deal, especial if you get one that can't be cured. |
