The adolescent population has the highest incidence of many STDs (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 1998), while the prevalence of trichomoniasis, human papillomavirus, and herpes simplex virus type 2 in the adolescent population is uncertain because these infections are not reportable...
Because this virus had not previously infected humans, it had the potential to cause widespread morbidity and mortality worldwide. During pandemics, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates an additional 10,000 to 40,000 deaths caused by influenza. Although higher than...
