There were 43,158 new cases of HIV reported in 2001 in the U.S. The number of cases is rising. In 2000, there were 40,000 new cases. Exactly 50% (half) of all these new cases of HIV in 2000 were among 15-24 year-olds. New strains of HIV are appearing, and the medications presently being used are not as effective over time.
 
Teens Peddle Yard Signs to Promote Abstinence (8/04) PDF Print E-mail
 How do you draw attention for abstinence in Milwaukee? A group of creative teens had an idea: yard signs! With signs proclaiming the benefits of saving sex for marriage, teens aged 12-18 took to the streets sharing their message door to door, asking residents if they could display the signs in their yards. The teens also handed out brochures and a fact sheet sharing the ten best reasons to wait before having sex. The ambitious teens were associated with the Opportunities Industrialization Center of Greater Milwaukee. Nearly 700 signs are still available for placement. [The Journal Sentinel, 08/21/04; Yard Signs Help Kids Abstain, E-Mail Update, Abstinence Clearinghouse, 8/25/04]
