i should add that it is due to a lack of good education on sex and STDs in the education system. many parents don't want these things taught in school and believe they are better taught at home. others find the topic too embarrassing etc. The situation of education in schools has been improving however at the same time the age of first sexual contact has become younger and more frequent. i should dig out my research as i looked at a number of reports etc..
