Sexually active young women often underestimate STD risk

f unprotected sex is important to understand so clinicians can identify and counsel women who may not see themselves at risk for sexually transmitted diseases.

"We can't assume that all women of the same age have the same risk behaviors. By pinpointing patterns involving condom use and partner type, we can then create screening questions that may alert us to this behavior. Once we identify at-risk women, we should refer them for appropriate testing, follow-up counseling and education," she said.
