Sexual Health Awareness

For most teens, sexual health is an awkward topic, to put it lightly. They'd rather share information?and misinformation?with each other than have "the talk" with an adult. And that's a major problem. With the CDC reporting that young people acquire half of all new sexually transmitted diseases each year, sex education is more imperative than ever. This must-have series has lifesaving knowledge that teens need about the infections and diseases that can alter their lives forever, including chlamydia, human papillomavirus (HPV), syphilis, and herpes. Whether the reader is dealing with an STD or has never had a sexual relationship, this sensitive yet honest text prepares them for what comes next.

• Each volume explains not only the science behind the condition but also how those affected can successfully cope with a diagnosis
