Answer:

•Adolescents and young adults are particularly susceptible to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis have been rapidly increasing among young people in recent years.

•Young people face multiple roadblocks to obtaining high-quality sexual health information and STI care that can help them avoid STIs or mitigate the effects of an infection.

•Advocates and policymakers addressing STIs among young people should support the needs of those most vulnerable to STIs through high-quality sex education programs, access to clinical care, preventive technologies and vaccines, and confidential services.
