A member asked:
Do kids aged 13-18 have std risks? are kids aged 13-18 to young to go for a std checkup?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Please clarify: Are these youngsters sexually active? Are you worried about sexual abuse? Stds are infections transmitted through intimate sexual contact. What really prompts your question?

Children: In this age range may be sexually active - if that is so, then they are at risk for developing sexually transmitted diseases. Age 13 to 18 years old is not too young for std checkup if sexually active.
