Mine is currently inverted.
Thankfully, being married means you don't have to worry about picking up STDs from teenage girls much, muahahahaha!.

Old news.
I learned all what was said in that article a few years ago in high school health. It's actually roughly the same stats for guys as well from what I remember.
Don't see why it's news worthy, tbh, if it's included in high school curiculiums (spelling?) from a few years back.

A lot more than that are infected with HSV-1 and HSV-2.
HSV-1 being the herpes simplex virus responsible for your lips and HSV-2 being the herpes simplex virus responsible for genital herpes.
Most people don't know they have it, and actually in most people HSV-1 and/or HSV-2 are not recurring, meaning it's not as a big deal as everyone makes it out to be.
Also, to scare you some more. Condoms do not protect completely, or even close to completely from HSV-2...
There is about a 30% chance to get infected during 1 year of a casual relationship if one of the partners is a carrier (but without outbreaks).
Using a condom reduces that by 100%, meaning that you still have a 15% chance to get infected.
You could also get unlucky and get it from a single intercourse.
HSV-1 you can get from kissing etc.
That's why they are so widespread. No big deal though, if you have a decent immune system you get it once in your life, and it doesn't appear again.
There are a bunch of such diseases actually (chickenpox, infectious mononucleosis etc.)

When I saw the article on CNN .com the picture had a black guy with his arm around a little white high schooler. I didn't know whether to laugh or...ok I laughed so what?

Well...there is death which is of course Bad.
Then there is wishing you were dead. While not quite as bad still not fun. A guy I knew in college got chlamydia from some chick and he'd scream everytime he took a ****...for about a week.

Condoms aren't very effective against HPV sadly.

Indeed, most people go "STD ZOMG".
Also there is no point to bash america over it - from what I know HSV-2/HSV-1 infection rates are similar (albeit lower) over here in europe, too.
About 80-90% in young adults for HSV-1 and 12-15% for HSV-2 IIRC.
That's only HSV though, not including others.

Same most places, I imagine, many STDs are present for the person's entire life(even if non-symptomatic), so they just accumulate.

Well, all the herpes viruses are present for the entire life.
Just dormant. They don't do anything when you have a well working immune system, but there is no cure either.
So it's not "some places".

Don't know what you are referring to by as "cure".
There is a vaccine being developed, and according to recent news, a solution is likely to be found soon.
The previous vaccine failed btw.
Antiretroviral therapy is by no means a cure for anything either.
And even when there will be a vaccine developed, it still won't be a cure.

Uhm.
But you can't cure herpes, anywhere.
It doesn't mean that you have it visible for the rest of you life. You can have 1-2 outbreaks and that's it. Same with HPV. And we know what HIV leads to.
You will still always have the diseases, and you will always be a carrier if you are infected. Whether you like it or not. Whether you live in Europe or in Africa.
In fact, of those diseases listed in the link in the OP, only trichomoniasis and chlamydia can be cured - rest can't.
So his post, as the previous posts about "untreated STD" don't make any sense to me.
Also, the study in the OP does not make sense - there are INDIVIDUAL diseases in it, which have a higher prevalence rate than the total magic "25%" there.
Just HPV is prevalent in more than 25% of females in the US.
What most people don't realise, is that most STD's and diseases aren't really anything special.
It's only the nastier ones that are scary :P

Treatment or not, there are a number of diseases that remain contagious for the rest of the persons life, mumps for example, and many diseases a person might not even realize they have.
And what's this about a cure for HIV? Last I heard, there wasn't even an effective treatment much less a cure.
edit: beat to it by 4 minutes...
Also, it's becoming clear why so many people get STDs, they know **** all about them.

Actually ART is a decent treatment for HIV, but it just delays the inevitable.
