Honestly, I don't understand why this is surprising. About 25% of females in the US have genital herpes alone, not to mention other STDs. That this study shows 25% of teen females as having any STD means that they have a lower incidence of STD than the general population. Factor in abstinance only education, and I'm surprised the rate is as low as it is.
