Maybe those Bush supported christian abstinence programs are the cause...

The Bible prohibits sexual relations outside of monogamous marriage. If a couple have never broken these prohibitions, then they could never contract a disease by sexual transmission (unless one of them contracted it by some other means and then passed it on to their spouse sexually). Since following God's laws precludes contraction of STDs, and breaking God's laws enables contraction of STDs, then it would not seem illogical to me were someone to say that such diseases are a punishment for sexual sin. Certainly, they are a common consequence of sexual sin. AUSCC

Well even with your bible thumping naive morality you can't stop your kids from experimenting, so you better teach them how to do it safe. Or let your kids contract and spread STDs as they do now.
