Essay about Sexually Transmitted Diseases are Wreaking Havock

Year by year people die due to sexually transmitted diseases. While some cases being only a simple infection, others can remain permanently and actually scar the carrier. For example: the illness herpes is reported by the CDC that 776,000 new cases overtake the United States annually. Many of these STDs are stated as some of the most difficult pain brought about by a time thought to be pleasurable. The name of these diseases states their origin. Each are spread through the genitals during sex, but many can be spread through other means, such as through blood, by touch, and tears in the mouth and anus.

Even from a young age sex is presented as something fun and exciting a nd desirable, yet the Government expects its people to be morally upright and sexually modest. These hopes and expectations of the Government are obviously failing. Recently the number of AIDS cases hit one million in number. Infections, such as Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, dominate sexually active 15-24 year olds, resulting in more than 50% of total infections. One in two sexually active people in the mentioned range will get an STD by the age of 25.

The obvious solution to such a problem would be to cut it off at the source†¦literally. Having Government regulated hospitals would be the first step. Doctors would check for STDs during a patient’s normal checkups and Government-controlled neighborhood screenings, performed at random time intervals would insure all citizens were being checked. Once a doctor diagnoses a patient with an STD, the patient is scheduled for the Removal Operation.
